Charles was succeeded in 741 by his sons [[Carloman (mayor of the palace)|Carloman]] and [[Pepin the Short]], the father of Charlemagne. In 743, the brothers placed [[Childeric III]] on the throne to curb separatism in the periphery. He was the last Merovingian king. Carloman resigned office in 746, preferring to enter the church as a monk. Pepin brought the question of the kingship before [[Pope Zachary]], asking whether it was logical for a king to have no royal power. The pope handed down his decision in 749, decreeing that it was better for Pepin to be called king, as he had the powers of high office as Mayor, so as not to confuse the hierarchy. He, therefore, ordered him to become the ''true king''.<ref name="France/Pippin">{{cite encyclopedia|url=https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/215768/France/40284/Pippin-III |title=France :: Pippin III – Encyclopædia Britannica |encyclopedia=Britannica.com |date=24 April 2013 |access-date=14 January 2014}}</ref> In 750, Pepin was elected by an assembly of the Franks, anointed by the archbishop, and then raised to the office of king. The Pope branded Childeric III as "the false king" and ordered him into a monastery. The Merovingian dynasty was thereby replaced by the [[Carolingian]] dynasty, named after Charles Martel. In 753, [[Pope Stephen II]] fled from Italy to Francia, appealing to Pepin for assistance for the rights of St. Peter. He was supported in this appeal by Carloman, Charles' brother<!---should this be Pepin's brother?- Apparently not; Pepin's brother only left the monastery (Monte Cassino), to plead that Pepin NOT provide aid to Stephen II, and was then imprisoned. Carloman, son of Pepin and brother to Charles, supported Stephen II, and was named along with his father and brother as kings.-->. In return, the pope could provide only legitimacy. He did this by again anointing and confirming Pepin, this time adding his young sons Carolus (Charlemagne) and Carloman to the royal patrimony. They thereby became heirs to the realm that already covered most of western Europe.

Plan of This Work}}}} ===Ambiguous high office=== {{further|Mayor of the palace}} The most powerful officers of the Frankish people, the [[Mayor of the palace|Mayor of the Palace]] (''Maior Domus'') and one or more kings (''rex'', ''reges''), were appointed by the election of the people. Elections were not periodic, but were held as required to elect officers ''ad quos summa imperii pertinebat'', "to whom the highest matters of state pertained". Evidently, interim decisions could be made by the Pope, which ultimately needed to be ratified using an assembly of the people that met annually.{{sfn|Einhard|1880|loc=ch. 1. The Merovingian Family}} Before he was elected king in 751, Pepin was initially a mayor, a high office he held "as though hereditary" (''velut hereditario fungebatur''). Einhard explains that "the honour" was usually "given by the people" to the distinguished, but Pepin the Great and his brother Carloman the Wise received it as though hereditary, as had their father, [[Charles Martel]]. There was, however, a certain ambiguity about quasi-inheritance. The office was treated as joint property: one Mayorship held by two brothers jointly.<ref>The ''Annales'' uses maiores domus, a plural followed by a singular: one house, two chief officers. {{harvnb|Einhard, putative|741–829|loc=Year 742}}</ref> Each, however, had his own geographic jurisdiction. When Carloman decided to resign, becoming ultimately a Benedictine at [[Monte Cassino]],{{sfn|Einhard, putative|741–829|loc=Years 745, 746}} the question of the disposition of his quasi-share was settled by the pope. He converted the mayorship into a kingship and awarded the joint property to Pepin, who gained the right to pass it on by inheritance.{{sfn|Einhard|1880|loc=ch. 6. Lombard War}} This decision was not accepted by all family members. Carloman had consented to the temporary tenancy of his own share, which he intended to pass on to his son, Drogo, when the inheritance should be settled at someone's death. By the Pope's decision, in which Pepin had a hand, Drogo was to be disqualified as an heir in favour of his cousin Charles. He took up arms in opposition to the decision and was joined by [[Grifo (noble)|Grifo]], a half-brother of Pepin and Carloman, who had been given a share by Charles Martel, but was stripped of it and held under loose arrest by his half-brothers after an attempt to seize their shares by military action. Grifo perished in combat in the Battle of [[Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne]] while Drogo was hunted down and taken into custody.{{sfn|Collins|1998|pp=32–33}} According to the ''Life'', Pepin died in Paris on 24 September 768, whereupon the kingship passed jointly to his sons, "with divine assent" (''divino nutu'').{{sfn|Einhard|1880|loc=ch. 3. Charlemagne's Accession}} The Franks "in general assembly" (''generali conventu'') gave them both the rank of a king (''reges'') but "partitioned the whole body of the kingdom equally" (''totum regni corpus ex aequo partirentur''). The ''annals''{{sfn|Einhard, putative|741–829|loc=Year 768}} tell a slightly different version, with the king dying at [[Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis|St-Denis]], near Paris. The two "lords" (''domni'') were "elevated to kingship" (''elevati sunt in regnum''), Charles on 9 October in [[Noyon]], Carloman on an unspecified date in [[Soissons]]. If born in 742, Charles was 26 years old, but he had been campaigning at his father's right hand for several years, which may help to account for his military skill. [[Carloman I|Carloman]] was 17. The language, in either case, suggests that there were not two inheritances, which would have created distinct kings ruling over distinct kingdoms, but a single joint inheritance and a joint kingship tenanted by two equal kings, Charles and his brother Carloman. As before, distinct jurisdictions were awarded. Charles received Pepin's original share as Mayor: the outer parts of the kingdom bordering on the sea, namely [[Neustria]], western [[Aquitaine]], and the northern parts of [[Austrasia]]; while Carloman was awarded his uncle's former share, the inner parts: southern Austrasia, [[Septimania]], eastern Aquitaine, [[Burgundy (region)|Burgundy]], Provence, and [[Swabia]], lands bordering [[Italy]]. The question of whether these jurisdictions were joint shares reverting to the other brother if one brother died or were inherited property passed on to the descendants of the brother who died was never definitely settled. It came up repeatedly over the succeeding decades until the grandsons of Charlemagne created distinct sovereign kingdoms.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-01-20 |title=Who was Charlemagne? - Boot Camp & Military Fitness Institute |url=https://bootcampmilitaryfitnessinstitute.com/2022/01/20/who-was-charlemagne-2/ |access-date=2023-05-16 |website=bootcampmilitaryfitnessinstitute.com |language=en-GB}}</ref> ===Aquitainian rebellion=== ====Formation of a new Aquitaine==== {{main|Aquitaine}} In southern [[Gaul]], [[Aquitaine]] had been Romanised and people spoke a [[Romance language]]. Similarly, [[Hispania]] had been populated by peoples who spoke various languages, including [[Celtic language|Celtic]], but these had now been mostly replaced by Romance languages. Between Aquitaine and Hispania were the [[Basques|Euskaldunak]], Latinised to [[Vascones]], or [[Basques]],{{sfn|Collins|1987|p=32}} whose country, Vasconia, extended, according to the distributions of place names attributable to the Basques, mainly in the western [[Pyrenees]] but also as far south as the upper river [[Ebro]] in Spain and as far north as the river [[Garonne]] in France.{{sfn|Collins|1987|p=105}} The French name [[Gascony]] derives from [[Vasconia]]. The Romans were never able to subjugate the whole of Vasconia. The soldiers they recruited for the Roman legions from those parts they did submit and where they founded the region's first cities were valued for their fighting abilities. The border with Aquitaine was at [[Toulouse]]. In about 660, the [[Duchy of Vasconia]] united with the [[Duke of Aquitaine|Duchy of Aquitaine]] to form a single realm under [[Felix of Aquitaine]], ruling from Toulouse. This was a joint kingship with a Basque Duke, [[Lupus I of Aquitaine|Lupus I]]. ''Lupus'' is the Latin translation of Basque Otsoa, "wolf".{{sfn|Douglass|Bilbao|2005|pp=36–37}} At Felix's death in 670 the joint property of the kingship reverted entirely to Lupus. As the Basques had no law of joint inheritance but relied on [[primogeniture]], [[Lupus I of Aquitaine|Lupus]] in effect founded a hereditary dynasty of Basque rulers of an expanded Aquitaine.{{sfn|Collins|1987|p=100}} ====Acquisition of Aquitaine by the Carolingians==== {{further|Umayyad conquest of Hispania}} [[File:Al-Andalus732.svg|thumb|[[Moorish]] [[Hispania]] in 732]] The Latin chronicles of the end of [[Visigoths|Visigothic]] [[Hispania]] omit many details, such as identification of characters, filling in the gaps and reconciliation of numerous contradictions.<ref>{{harvnb|Collins|2004|pp=130–31}}, "The sequence of events...has not been assisted by the tendency of the historians to take all the information...from all the available sources and combine it to produce a single synthetic account...As a rule of thumb, reliability, and also brevity of narrative, are usually in direct proportion to chronological proximity."</ref> Muslim sources, however, present a more coherent view, such as in the ''Ta'rikh iftitah al-Andalus'' ("History of the Conquest of al-Andalus") by [[Ibn al-Qūṭiyya]] ("the son of the Gothic woman", referring to the granddaughter of [[Wittiza]], the last Visigothic king of a united Hispania, who married a Moor). Ibn al-Qūṭiyya, who had another, much longer name, must have been relying to some degree on family oral tradition. According to Ibn al-Qūṭiyya{{sfn|James|Ibn al-Qūṭiyya|2009|p=49}} [[Wittiza]], the last Visigothic king of a united Hispania, died before his three sons, Almund, Romulo, and Ardabast reached maturity. Their mother was [[queen regent]] at [[Toledo, Spain|Toledo]], but [[Roderic]], army chief of staff, staged a rebellion, capturing [[Córdoba, Spain|Córdoba]]. He chose to impose a joint rule over distinct jurisdictions on the true heirs. Evidence of a division of some sort can be found in the distribution of coins imprinted with the name of each king and in the king lists.{{sfn|Collins|2004|pp=131–32}} Wittiza was succeeded by Roderic, who reigned for seven and a half years, followed by Achila (Aquila), who reigned three and a half years. If the reigns of both terminated with the incursion of the [[Saracens]], then Roderic appears to have reigned a few years before the majority of Achila. The latter's kingdom was securely placed to the northeast, while Roderic seems to have taken the rest, notably modern [[Portugal]]. The Saracens crossed the mountains to claim Ardo's [[Septimania]], only to encounter the Basque dynasty of Aquitaine, always the allies of the Goths. [[Odo the Great]] of [[Aquitaine]] was at first victorious at the [[Battle of Toulouse (721)|Battle of Toulouse]] in 721.{{sfn|Douglass|Bilbao|2005|p=40}} Saracen troops gradually massed in Septimania and, in 732, an army under Emir [[Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi]] advanced into Vasconia, and Odo was defeated at the [[Battle of the River Garonne]]. They took [[Bordeaux]] and were advancing towards [[Tours]] when Odo, powerless to stop them, appealed to his arch-enemy, [[Charles Martel]], mayor of the Franks. In one of the first of the lightning marches for which the Carolingian kings became famous, Charles and his army appeared in the path of the Saracens between Tours and [[Poitiers]], and in the [[Battle of Tours]] decisively defeated and killed al-Ghafiqi. The Moors returned twice more, each time suffering defeat at Charles' hands—at the River Berre near Narbonne in 737{{sfn|Einhard|1880|p=24}} and in the [[Dauphiné]] in 740.<ref name="Lewis2009">{{cite book|first=David Levering |last=Lewis|title=God's Crucible: Islam and the Making of Europe, 570–1215|url={{google books |plainurl=y |id=NwA7mQEACAAJ|page=177}}|date=2009|publisher=W.W.

However, Odo had ambiguously left the kingdom jointly to his two sons, Hunald and Hatto. The latter, loyal to Francia, now went to war with his brother over full possession. Victorious, Hunald blinded and imprisoned his brother, only to be so stricken by conscience that he resigned and entered the church as a monk to do penance. The story is told in [[Annales Mettenses priores]].<ref name="Freeman1904">{{cite book|first=Edward Augustus |last=Freeman|title=Western Europe in the Eighth Century & Onward: An Aftermath|url={{google books |plainurl=y |id=5HCIvgAACAAJ|page=74}}|year=1904|publisher=Macmillan and Company, limited| page=74}}</ref> His son [[Waiofar|Waifer]] took an early inheritance, becoming duke of Aquitaine and ratifying the alliance with Lombardy. Waifer, deciding to honour it, repeated his father's decision, which he justified by arguing that any agreements with Charles Martel became invalid on Martel's death. Since [[Aquitaine]] was now Pepin's inheritance because of the earlier assistance given by Charles Martel, according to some, the latter and his son, the young Charles, hunted down Waifer, who could only conduct a guerrilla war, and executed him.{{sfn|Russell|1930|p=88}} Among the contingents of the Frankish army were [[Bavaria]]ns under [[Tassilo III, Duke of Bavaria]], an [[Agilofing]], the hereditary Bavarian ducal family. [[Grifo (noble)|Grifo]] had installed himself as Duke of Bavaria, but Pepin replaced him with a member of the ducal family yet a child, Tassilo, whose protector he had become after the death of his father. The loyalty of the Agilolfings was perpetually in question, but Pepin exacted numerous oaths of loyalty from Tassilo. However, the latter had married [[Liutperga]], a daughter of [[Desiderius]], king of [[Lombardy]]. At a critical point in the campaign, Tassilo left the field with all his Bavarians. Out of reach of Pepin, he repudiated all loyalty to Francia.{{sfn|McKitterick|2008|pp=118–25}} Pepin had no chance to respond as he grew ill and died within a few weeks after Waifer's execution. The first event of the brothers' reign was the uprising of the Aquitainians and [[Gascony|Gascons]] in 769, in that territory split between the two kings. One year earlier, Pepin had finally defeated [[Waifer of Aquitaine|Waifer]], [[Duke of Aquitaine]], after waging a destructive, ten-year war against Aquitaine. Now, [[Hunald II]] led the Aquitainians as far north as [[Angoulême]]. Charles met Carloman, but Carloman refused to participate and returned to Burgundy. Charles went to war, leading an army to [[Bordeaux]], where he built a fortified camp on the mound at [[Fronsac, Gironde|Fronsac]]. Hunald was forced to flee to the court of Duke [[Lupo II of Gascony|Lupus&nbsp;II of Gascony]]. Lupus, fearing Charles, turned Hunald over in exchange for peace, and Hunald was put in a monastery. Gascon lords also surrendered, and Aquitaine and [[Duchy of Vasconia|Gascony]] were finally fully subdued by the Franks. ===Marriage to Desiderata=== The brothers maintained lukewarm relations with the assistance of their mother Bertrada, but in 770 Charles signed a treaty with Duke [[Tassilo III of Bavaria]] and married a Lombard Princess (commonly known today as [[Desiderata, wife of Charlemagne|Desiderata]]), the daughter of King Desiderius, to surround Carloman with his own allies. Though [[Pope Stephen III]] first opposed the marriage with the Lombard princess, he found little to fear from a Frankish-Lombard alliance. Less than a year after his marriage, Charlemagne repudiated Desiderata and married a 13-year-old Swabian named [[Hildegard, wife of Charlemagne|Hildegard]]. The repudiated Desiderata returned to her father's court at [[Pavia]]. Her father's wrath was now aroused, and he would have gladly allied with Carloman to defeat Charles. Before any open hostilities could be declared, however, Carloman died on 5 December 771, apparently of natural causes. Carloman's widow [[Gerberge, wife of Carloman|Gerberga]] fled to Desiderius' court with her sons for protection. == Wives, concubines, and children == {{further|Carolingian dynasty}} Charlemagne had eighteen children with seven of his ten known wives or concubines.<ref name="Will Durant Chronique">Durant, Will.

In addition, he had a grandson ([[Bernard of Italy]], the only son of his third son, [[Pepin of Italy]]), who was illegitimate but included in the line of inheritance. Among his descendants are several royal dynasties, including the [[Habsburg]], and [[Capetian]] dynasties. By consequence, most if not all established European noble families ever since can genealogically trace some of their background to Charlemagne. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Start date ! Wives and their children ! Concubines and their children |- | {{Circa|768}} | His first relationship was with [[Himiltrude]]. The nature of this relationship is variously described as [[concubinage]], a legal marriage, or a [[Friedelehe]].{{efn|The nature of Himiltrude's relationship to Charlemagne is a matter of dispute. Charlemagne's biographer [[Einhard]] calls her a "concubine"<ref>Einhard, ''[[Vita Karoli Magni]]'', ch. 20</ref> and [[Paulus Diaconus]] speaks of Pippin's birth "before legal marriage",{{citation needed|date=February 2022}} A letter by [[Pope Stephen III]] seemingly referring to Charlemagne and his brother Carloman as being already married (to Himiltrude and [[Gerberga, wife of Carloman I|Gerberga]]), and advising them not to dismiss their wives has led many historians to believe that Himiltrude and Charlemagne were legally married.{{citation needed|date=February 2022}} However, the words employed by the pope could also mean that there had only been a promise of marriage. The acts of Saint [[Adalard of Corbie]] supports this hypothesis, for the monastic vocation of that Saint is described as due to the scruple he had regarding Charlemagne's dismissal of Princess [[Desiderata of the Lombards]] which occurred before any consummation of the marriage and possibly before any religious ceremony. (It is unclear whether the marriage ever took place or if Desiderata only received the homage of the nobility in accordance with her planned future position of Queen of the Franks.) If Saint Adalard was scandalised by this dismissal, it is highly unlikely he would have been unfazed about Himiltrude's dismissal, had she truly been married to Charlemagne.<ref>Joseph-Épiphane Darras, ''Histoire Générale de l'Église'', Tome 17, p.434-441.</ref> Historians have interpreted the information in different ways. Some, such as [[Pierre Riché]], follow Einhard in describing Himiltrude as a concubine.<ref>Pierre Riché, ''The Carolingians'', p.86.</ref> Others, Dieter Hägemann for example, consider Himiltrude a wife in the full sense.{{citation needed|date=February 2022}} Still others subscribe to the idea that the relationship between the two was "something more than concubinage, less than marriage" and describe it as a [[Friedelehe]], a supposed form of marriage unrecognized by the Church and easily dissolvable.

Charlemagne ordered Pepin and Louis to be raised in the customs of their kingdoms, and he gave their regents some control of their subkingdoms, but kept the real power, though he intended his sons to inherit their realms. He did not tolerate insubordination in his sons: in 792, he banished Pepin the Hunchback to [[Prüm Abbey]] because the young man had joined a rebellion against him.

[[Charles the Younger|Charles]] was mostly preoccupied with the Bretons, whose border he shared and who insurrected on at least two occasions and were easily put down. He also fought the Saxons on multiple occasions. In 805 and 806, he was sent into the Böhmerwald (modern [[Bohemia]]) to deal with the Slavs living there (Bohemian tribes, ancestors of the modern [[Czech people|Czechs]]). He subjected them to Frankish authority and devastated the valley of the Elbe, forcing tribute from them. Pippin had to hold the [[Avars (Carpathians)|Avar]] and Beneventan borders and fought the [[Slavs]] to his north. He was uniquely poised to fight the [[Byzantine Empire]] when that conflict arose after Charlemagne's imperial coronation and a [[Venetia (region)|Venetian]] rebellion. Finally, Louis was in charge of the [[Spanish March]] and fought the Duke of Benevento in southern Italy on at least one occasion. He took [[Barcelona]] in [[Siege of Barcelona (801)|a great siege]] in 801. [[File:Charlemagne et Louis le Pieux.jpg|thumb|Charlemagne instructing his son [[Louis the Pious]]]] Charlemagne kept his daughters at home with him and refused to allow them to contract [[marriage#Religion|sacramental marriages]] (though he originally condoned an engagement between his eldest daughter Rotrude and [[Constantine VI]] of Byzantium, this engagement was annulled when Rotrude was 11).<ref>Runciman, Steven.

However, he tolerated their extramarital relationships, even rewarding their common-law husbands and treasuring the illegitimate grandchildren they produced for him. He also refused to believe stories of their wild behaviour. After his death the surviving daughters were banished from the court by their brother, the pious Louis, to take up residence in the convents they had been bequeathed by their father. At least one of them, Bertha, had a recognised relationship, if not a marriage, with [[Angilbert]], a member of Charlemagne's court circle.{{sfn|Becher|2005|p=[{{google books|plainurl=y|id=KbbMcYpuQswC|page=122}} 122]}}{{sfn|McKitterick|2008|p=91}} ==Italian campaigns== ===Conquest of the Lombard kingdom=== [[File:Charlemagne and Pope Adrian I.jpg|thumb|The Frankish king Charlemagne was a devout Christian and maintained a close relationship with the papacy throughout his life.

Adrian sent ambassadors to Charlemagne in autumn requesting he enforce the policies of his father, Pepin. Desiderius sent his own ambassadors denying the pope's charges. The ambassadors met at [[Thionville]], and Charlemagne upheld the pope's side. Charlemagne demanded what the pope had requested, but Desiderius swore never to comply.

There he confirmed [[Donation of Pepin|his father's grants of land]],<ref name="Campaigns" /> with some later chronicles falsely claiming that he also expanded them, granting [[Tuscany]], [[Emilia (region of Italy)|Emilia]], Venice and [[Corsica]]. The pope granted him the title ''[[Patrician (post-Roman Europe)|patrician]]''. He then returned to Pavia, where the Lombards were on the verge of surrendering. In return for their lives, the Lombards surrendered and opened the gates in early summer. Desiderius was sent to the [[abbey]] of [[Corbie]], and his son Adelchis died in Constantinople, a patrician. Charles, unusually, had himself crowned with the [[Iron Crown of Lombardy|Iron Crown]] and made the magnates of Lombardy pay homage to him at Pavia. Only Duke [[Arechis II of Benevento]] refused to submit and proclaimed independence. Charlemagne was then master of Italy as king of the Lombards. He left Italy with a garrison in Pavia and a few Frankish counts in place the same year. [[File:771 CE, Europe.svg|thumb|240px|Political map of Europe in 771, showing the [[Kingdom of the Lombards]] and the duchies of [[Duchy of Spoleto|Spoleto]] and [[Duchy of Benevento|Benevento]]]] Instability continued in Italy. In 776, Dukes [[Hrodgaud of Friuli]] and [[Hildeprand of Spoleto]] rebelled. Charlemagne rushed back from [[Saxony]] and defeated the Duke of Friuli in battle; the Duke was slain.{{sfn|Einhard|1880|loc=ch. 6. Lombard War}} The Duke of Spoleto signed a treaty. Their co-conspirator, Arechis, was not subdued, and Adelchis, their candidate in [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantium]], never left that city. Northern Italy was now faithfully his. ===Southern Italy=== In 787, Charlemagne directed his attention towards the [[Duchy of Benevento]],{{sfn|Hodgkin|1889|p=69}} where [[Arechis II of Benevento|Arechis II]] was reigning independently with the self-given title of [[Princeps]]. Charlemagne's siege of [[Salerno]] forced Arechis into submission, and in return for peace, Arechis recognized Charlemagne's [[suzerainty]] and handed his son [[Grimoald III of Benevento|Grimoald III]] over as a hostage. After Arechis' death in 787, Grimoald was allowed to return to Benevento. In 788, the principality was invaded by Byzantine troops led by Adelchis, but his attempts were thwarted by Grimoald. The Franks assisted in the repulsion of Adelchis, but, in turn, attacked Benevento's territories several times,{{sfn|Hodgkin|1889|pp=85–86}} obtaining small gains, notably the annexation of [[Chieti]] to the [[duchy of Spoleto]].{{sfn|Bathurst|1782|p=358}} Later, Grimoald tried to throw off Frankish suzerainty, but Charles' sons, [[Pepin of Italy]] and [[Charles the Younger]], forced him to submit in 792.{{sfn|Abel|1883|pp=50–51}} ==Carolingian expansion to the south== ===Vasconia and the Pyrenees=== The destructive war led by Pepin in Aquitaine, although brought to a satisfactory conclusion for the Franks, proved the Frankish power structure south of the [[Loire]] was feeble and unreliable. After the defeat and death of [[Waifer of Aquitaine|Waifer]] in 768, while Aquitaine submitted again to the Carolingian dynasty, a new rebellion broke out in 769 led by Hunald II, a possible son of Waifer. He took refuge with the ally Duke [[Lupus II of Gascony]], but probably out of fear of Charlemagne's reprisal, Lupus handed him over to the new King of the Franks to whom he pledged loyalty, which seemed to confirm the peace in [[Duchy of Vasconia|the Basque area]] south of the [[Garonne]].<ref name="Lewis">{{cite book |last=Lewis |first=Archibald Ross |year=1965 |title=The Development of Southern French and Catalan Society 718–1050 |publisher=University of Texas Press}}</ref> In the campaign of 769, Charlemagne seems to have followed a policy of "overwhelming force" and avoided a major pitched battle<ref>Bachrach, Bernard (2013). Charlemagne's Early Campaigns (768–777): A Diplomatic and Military Analysis. Leiden: Brill. 2013, p. 234</ref> Wary of new Basque uprisings, Charlemagne seems to have tried to contain Duke Lupus's power by appointing [[Seguin I of Gascony|Seguin]] as the Count of Bordeaux (778) and other counts of Frankish background in bordering areas ([[History of Toulouse#768–877: Carolingian Franks and the Kingdom of Aquitaine|Toulouse]], [[County of Fézensac]]). The [[History of the Basque people#Early Middle Ages|Basque]] Duke, in turn, seems to have contributed decisively or schemed the [[Battle of Roncevaux Pass]] (referred to as "Basque treachery"). The defeat of Charlemagne's army in Roncevaux (778) confirmed his determination to rule directly by establishing the Kingdom of Aquitaine (ruled by [[Louis the Pious]]) based on a power base of Frankish officials, distributing lands among colonisers and allocating lands to the Church, which he took as an ally. A Christianisation programme was put in place across the high [[Pyrenees]] (778).<ref name=Lewis/> The new political arrangement for Vasconia did not sit well with local lords. As of 788 [[Adalric of Gascony|Adalric]] was fighting and capturing [[Torson of Toulouse|Chorson]], Carolingian Count of Toulouse. He was eventually released, but Charlemagne, enraged at the compromise, decided to depose him and appointed his trustee [[William of Gellone]]. William, in turn, fought the Basques and defeated them after banishing Adalric (790).<ref name=Lewis/> From 781 ([[County of Pallars|Pallars]], [[County of Ribagorza|Ribagorça]]) to 806 ([[Pamplona#Early Middle Ages|Pamplona]] under Frankish influence), taking the County of Toulouse for a power base, Charlemagne asserted Frankish authority over the Pyrenees by subduing the south-western marches of Toulouse (790) and establishing vassal counties on the southern Pyrenees that were to make up the [[Marca Hispanica]].{{sfn|Lewis|1965|p=40}} As of 794, a Frankish vassal, the Basque lord Belasko (''al-Galashki'', 'the Gaul') ruled [[Álava]], but Pamplona remained under Cordovan and local control up to 806. Belasko and the counties in the Marca Hispánica provided the necessary base to attack the [[Al-Andalus|Andalusians]] (an expedition led by [[William of Gellone|William Count of Toulouse]] and Louis the Pious to capture Barcelona in 801). Events in the Duchy of Vasconia (rebellion in Pamplona, [[Aznar Galíndez I|count overthrown in Aragon]], Duke Seguin of Bordeaux deposed, uprising of the Basque lords, etc.) were to prove it ephemeral upon Charlemagne's death. ===Roncesvalles campaign=== {{See also|Abbasid-Carolingian Alliance}} According to the Muslim historian [[Ibn al-Athir]], the [[Imperial Diet (Holy Roman Empire)|Diet]] of [[Paderborn]] had received the representatives of the Muslim rulers of [[Zaragoza]], [[Girona]], [[Barcelona]] and [[Huesca]]. Their masters had been cornered in the [[Iberian peninsula]] by [[Abd ar-Rahman I]], the [[Umayyad]] [[emir of Córdoba|emir of Cordova]]. These "Saracen" ([[Moorish]] and [[Muwallad]]) rulers offered their homage to the king of the Franks in return for military support. Seeing an opportunity to extend [[Christendom]] and his own power, and believing the Saxons to be a fully conquered nation, Charlemagne agreed to go to Spain. In 778, he led the Neustrian army across the Western [[Pyrenees]], while the Austrasians, Lombards, and Burgundians passed over the Eastern Pyrenees. The armies met at [[Saragossa]] and Charlemagne received the homage of the Muslim rulers, Sulayman al-Arabi and Kasmin ibn Yusuf, but the city did not fall for him. Indeed, Charlemagne faced the toughest battle of his career. The Muslims forced him to retreat, so he decided to go home, as he could not trust the [[Basques]], whom he had subdued by conquering [[Pamplona]]. He turned to leave Iberia, but as his army was crossing back through the Pass of [[Roncesvalles]], one of the most famous events of his reign occurred: the Basques attacked and destroyed his rearguard and baggage train. The [[Battle of Roncevaux Pass]], though less a battle than a skirmish, left many famous dead, including the [[seneschal]] Eggihard, the count of the palace Anselm, and the [[wikt:warden|warden]] of the [[Breton March]], [[Roland]], inspiring the subsequent creation of ''[[The Song of Roland]]'' (''La Chanson de Roland''), regarded as the first major work in the [[French language]]. ===Contact with Muslims=== [[File:Harun al-Rashid receives envoys from Charlemagne.jpg|thumb|upright=1.25|[[Harun al-Rashid]] receiving a delegation of Charlemagne in [[Baghdad]], by Julius Köckert (1864)]] The conquest of Italy brought Charlemagne in contact with Muslims who, at the time, controlled the [[Mediterranean Sea|Mediterranean]]. Charlemagne's eldest son, [[Pepin the Hunchback]], was much occupied with Muslims in Italy. Charlemagne conquered [[Corsica]] and [[Sardinia]] at an unknown date and in 799 the [[Balearic Islands]]. The islands were often attacked by Muslim pirates, but the counts of [[Genoa]] and Tuscany ([[Boniface I of Tuscany|Boniface]]) controlled them with large fleets until the end of Charlemagne's reign. Charlemagne even had contact with the [[caliph]]al court in [[Baghdad]]. In 797 (or possibly 801), the caliph of Baghdad, [[Harun al-Rashid]], presented Charlemagne with an [[Asian elephant]] named [[Abul-Abbas]] and a [[clock]].<ref name="Heck2007">{{cite book|first=Gene W. |last=Heck|title=When Worlds Collide: Exploring the Ideological and Political Foundations of the Clash of Civilizations|url={{google books |plainurl=y |id=dtAyMXqaozwC|page=172}}|year=2007|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield|isbn=978-0-7425-5856-4|pages=172–}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Ottewill-Soulsby |first=Sam |title=The Emperor and the Elephant: Christians and Muslims in the Age of Charlemagne |date=2023 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-0-691-22938-6 |language=en}}</ref> ===Wars with the Moors=== {{Unreferenced section|date=December 2018}} In [[Hispania]], the struggle against Islam continued unabated throughout the latter half of his reign. Louis was in charge of the Spanish border. In 785, his men captured Girona permanently and extended Frankish control into the [[Catalonia|Catalan]] littoral for the duration of Charlemagne's reign (the area remained nominally Frankish until the [[Treaty of Corbeil (1258)|Treaty of Corbeil]] in 1258). The Muslim chiefs in the northeast of [[Al-Andalus|Islamic Spain]] were constantly rebelling against Cordovan authority, and they often turned to the Franks for help. The Frankish border was slowly extended until 795, when Girona, [[Cardona, Spain|Cardona]], [[Ausona]] and [[County of Urgell|Urgell]] were united into the new [[Spanish March]], within the old duchy of [[Septimania]]. In 797, [[Barcelona]], the greatest city of the region, fell to the Franks when Zeid, its governor, rebelled against Cordova and, failing, handed it to them. The [[Umayyad]] authority recaptured it in 799. However, Louis of Aquitaine marched the entire army of his kingdom over the [[Pyrenees]] and besieged it for two years, wintering there from 800 to 801, when it capitulated. The Franks continued to press forward against the [[emir]]. They probably took [[Tarragona]] and [[Siege of Tortosa (808–809)|forced the submission of Tortosa]] in 809. The last conquest brought them to the mouth of the [[Ebro]] and gave them raiding access to [[Kingdom of Valencia|Valencia]], prompting the Emir [[al-Hakam I]] to recognise their conquests in 813. ==Eastern campaigns== ===Saxon Wars=== {{Further|Saxon Wars}} [[File:Frankish Empire 481 to 814-en.svg|thumb|upright=1.25|Charlemagne's additions to the [[Frankish Kingdom]]]] Charlemagne was engaged in almost constant warfare throughout his reign,<ref>France, John, "The Composition and Raising of the Armies of Charlemagne", in Journal of Medieval Military History, ed. B. Bachrach (2002), pp. 63–65</ref> often at the head of his elite ''[[scara]]'' bodyguard squadrons. In the [[Saxon Wars]], spanning thirty years and eighteen battles, he conquered [[Old Saxony|Saxonia]] and proceeded to convert it to Christianity. The Germanic [[Saxons]] were divided into four subgroups in four regions. Nearest to [[Austrasia]] was [[Westphalia]] and farthest away was [[Eastphalia]]. Between them was [[Engria]] and north of these three, at the base of the [[Jutland]] peninsula, was [[Nordalbingia]]. In his first campaign, in 773, Charlemagne forced the Engrians to submit and cut down an [[Irminsul]] pillar near [[Paderborn]].<ref>Revised annals of the kingdom of the Franks, ed. and trans. King, Sources, p. 110</ref> The campaign was cut short by his first expedition to Italy. He returned in 775, marching through Westphalia and conquering the Saxon fort at [[Sigiburg]]. He then crossed Engria, where he defeated the Saxons again. Finally, in Eastphalia, he defeated a Saxon force, and its leader {{ill|Hessi|de|Hessi (Ostfale)}} converted to Christianity. Charlemagne returned through Westphalia, leaving encampments at Sigiburg and [[Eresburg]], which had been important Saxon bastions. He then controlled Saxony with the exception of Nordalbingia, but Saxon resistance had not ended. Following his subjugation of the Dukes of Friuli and Spoleto, Charlemagne returned rapidly to Saxony in 776, where a rebellion had destroyed his fortress at Eresburg. The Saxons were once again defeated, but their main leader, [[Widukind]], escaped to Denmark, his wife's home. Charlemagne built a new camp at [[Karlstadt am Main|Karlstadt]]. In 777, he called a national diet at Paderborn to integrate Saxony fully into the Frankish kingdom. Many Saxons were baptised as Christians. In the summer of 779, he again invaded Saxony and reconquered Eastphalia, Engria and Westphalia. At a diet near [[Lippe]], he divided the land into missionary districts and himself assisted in several mass baptisms (780). He then returned to Italy and, for the first time, the Saxons did not immediately revolt. Saxony was peaceful from 780 to 782. [[File:Charlemagne, empereur d'Occident, reçoit la soumission de Wittekind, 785, por Ary Scheffer.jpg|thumb|left|Charlemagne receiving the submission of [[Widukind]] at [[Paderborn]] in 785, painted c.&nbsp;1840 by [[Ary Scheffer]]]] He returned to Saxony in 782 and instituted a code of law and appointed counts, both Saxon and Frank. The laws were draconian on religious issues; for example, the ''[[Capitulatio de partibus Saxoniae]]'' prescribed death to Saxon pagans who refused to convert to Christianity. This led to renewed conflict. That year, in autumn, Widukind returned and led a new revolt. In response, at [[Verden, Germany|Verden]] in Lower Saxony, Charlemagne is recorded as having ordered the execution of 4,500 Saxon prisoners by beheading, known as the [[Massacre of Verden]] ("Verdener Blutgericht"). The killings triggered three years of renewed bloody warfare. During this war, the [[East Frisia]]ns between the [[Lauwers]] and the [[Weser]] joined the Saxons in revolt and were finally subdued.<ref>Oebele Vries, "Friesland", ''Medieval Germany: An Encyclopedia'' (Routledge, 2001), pp. 252–56.</ref> The war ended with Widukind accepting baptism.{{sfn|Frassetto|2003|loc=[https://books.google.com/books?id=yW-GfElbafQC&pg=PA368 "Widukind" p. 368]}} The Frisians afterwards asked for missionaries to be sent to them and a bishop of their own nation, [[Ludger]], was sent. Charlemagne also promulgated a law code, the ''[[Lex Frisonum]]'', as he did for most subject peoples.<ref>A. M. L. Fadda (2000), "The Vernacular and the Propagation of the Faith in Anglo-Saxon Missionary Activity", ''Studies in Church History''. Subsidia, '''13''', 1–15.</ref> Thereafter, the Saxons maintained the peace for seven years, but in 792 Westphalia again rebelled. The Eastphalians and Nordalbingians joined them in 793, but the insurrection was unpopular and was put down by 794. An Engrian rebellion followed in 796, but the presence of Charlemagne, Christian Saxons and [[Slavic peoples|Slavs]] quickly crushed it. The last insurrection occurred in 804, more than thirty years after Charlemagne's first campaign against them, but also failed. According to Einhard: {{blockquote| The war that had lasted so many years was at length ended by their acceding to the terms offered by the King; which were renunciation of their national religious customs and the worship of devils, acceptance of the sacraments of the Christian faith and religion, and union with the Franks to form one people. }} ===Submission of Bavaria=== [[File:Charlemagne Agostino Cornacchini Vatican 2.jpg|thumb|upright|''[[Equestrian statue of Charlemagne (Cornacchini)|Equestrian statue of Charlemagne]]'' by [[Agostino Cornacchini]] (1725), [[St. Peter's Basilica]], [[Vatican City]].]] By 774, Charlemagne had invaded the [[Kingdom of the Lombards|Kingdom of Lombardy]], and he later annexed the Lombardian territories and assumed its crown, placing the [[Papal States]] under Frankish protection.<ref name="autogenerated30">Historical Atlas of Knights and Castles, Cartographica, Dr Ian Barnes, 2007 pp. 30, 31</ref> The [[Duchy of Spoleto]] south of Rome was acquired in 774, while in the central western parts of Europe, the [[Duchy of Bavaria]] was absorbed and the Bavarian policy continued of establishing tributary [[marches]], (borders protected in return for tribute or taxes) among the [[Slavs|Slavic]] Sorbs and Czechs.

Charlemagne was preoccupied with other matters until 790 when he marched down the [[Danube]] and ravaged Avar territory to the [[Győr]]. A Lombard army under Pippin then marched into the [[Drava]] valley and ravaged [[Pannonia]]. The campaigns ended when the Saxons revolted again in 792. For the next two years, Charlemagne was occupied, along with the Slavs, against the Saxons. Pippin and Duke [[Eric of Friuli]] continued, however, to assault the Avars' ring-shaped strongholds. The great Ring of the Avars, their capital fortress, was taken twice. The booty was sent to Charlemagne at his capital, Aachen, and redistributed to his followers and to foreign rulers, including King [[Offa of Mercia]]. Soon the Avar [[tudun]]s had lost the will to fight and travelled to Aachen to become vassals to Charlemagne and to become Christians. Charlemagne accepted their surrender and sent one native chief, baptised Abraham, back to Avaria with the ancient title of [[khagan]]. Abraham kept his people in line, but in 800, the [[First Bulgarian Empire|Bulgarians]] under [[Krum|Khan Krum]] attacked the remains of the Avar state. In 803, Charlemagne sent a Bavarian army into [[Pannonia]], defeating and bringing an end to the [[Avar Khaganate|Avar confederation]].<ref name="Rogers">{{cite book|first1=Bernard S. |last1=Bachrach|author2=Clifford J.

The Slavs ultimately submitted, led by their leader Witzin. Charlemagne then accepted the surrender of the [[Veleti]] under Dragovit and demanded many hostages. He also demanded permission to send missionaries into this pagan region unmolested. The army marched to the [[Baltic region|Baltic]] before turning around and marching to the Rhine, winning much booty with no harassment. The tributary Slavs became loyal allies. In 795, when the Saxons broke the peace, the Abotrites and Veleti rebelled with their new ruler against the Saxons. Witzin died in battle and Charlemagne avenged him by harrying the Eastphalians on the Elbe.

"[...] he said that he would have refused to enter the church that day, although it was a major festival, had he been aware of the Pope's plans".</ref> but that debate obscured the more significant question of ''why'' the Pope granted the title and why Charlemagne accepted it. [[Roger Collins|Collins]] points out "[t]hat the motivation behind the acceptance of the imperial title was a romantic and antiquarian interest in reviving the Roman Empire is highly unlikely."{{sfn|Collins|1987|p=147}} For one thing, such romance would not have appealed either to Franks or Roman Catholics at the turn of the ninth century, both of whom viewed the [[Classical antiquity|Classical]] heritage of the Roman Empire with distrust. The Franks took pride in having "fought against and thrown from their shoulders the heavy yoke of the Romans" and "from the knowledge gained in baptism, clothed in gold and precious stones the bodies of the holy martyrs whom the Romans had killed by fire, by the sword and by wild animals", as [[Pepin the Short|Pepin&nbsp;III]] described it in a law of 763 or 764.{{sfn|Collins|1987|p=151}} Furthermore, the new title—carrying with it the risk that the new emperor would "make drastic changes to the traditional styles and procedures of government" or "concentrate his attentions on Italy or on Mediterranean concerns more generally"—risked alienating the Frankish leadership.{{sfn|Collins|1987|p=149}} For both the Pope and Charlemagne, the Roman Empire remained a significant power in European politics at this time. The [[Byzantine Empire]], based in Constantinople, continued to hold a substantial portion of Italy, with borders not far south of Rome. Charles' sitting in judgment of the Pope could be seen as usurping the prerogatives of the Emperor in Constantinople: {{blockquote|By whom, however, could he [the Pope] be tried? Who, in other words, was qualified to pass judgement on the Vicar of Christ? In normal circumstances the only conceivable answer to that question would have been the Emperor at Constantinople; but the imperial throne was at this moment occupied by [[Irene of Athens|Irene]]. That the Empress was notorious for having blinded and murdered her own son was, in the minds of both Leo and Charles, almost immaterial: it was enough that she was a woman. The female sex was known to be incapable of governing, and by the old Salic tradition was debarred from doing so. As far as Western Europe was concerned, the Throne of the Emperors was vacant: Irene's claim to it was merely an additional proof, if any were needed, of the degradation into which the so-called Roman Empire had fallen.|[[John Julius Norwich]]{{sfn|Norwich|1992b|p=378}}|}} [[File:Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (German - The Coronation of Charlemagne - Google Art Project.jpg|alt=|thumb|upright=1.3|Coronation of Charlemagne, drawing by [[Julius Schnorr von Karolsfeld]]]] For the Pope, then, there was "no living Emperor at that time"{{sfn|Norwich|1992b|p=379}} though [[Henri Pirenne]]{{sfn|Pirenne|2012|p=234n}} disputes this saying that the coronation "was not in any sense explained by the fact that at this moment a woman was reigning in Constantinople". Nonetheless, the Pope took the extraordinary step of creating one. The papacy had since 727 been in conflict with Irene's predecessors in Constantinople over a number of issues, chiefly the continued Byzantine adherence to the doctrine of [[iconoclasm]], the destruction of Christian images; while from 750, the secular power of the Byzantine Empire in central Italy had been nullified.

According to the former, the empire was a universal monarchy, a "commonwealth of the whole world, whose sublime unity transcended every minor distinction"; and the emperor "was entitled to the obedience of [[Christendom]]". According to the latter, the emperor had no ambition for universal dominion; his realm was limited in the same way as that of every other ruler, and when he made more far-reaching claims his object was normally to ward off the attacks either of the Pope or of the Byzantine emperor. According to this view, also, the origin of the empire is to be explained by specific local circumstances rather than by overarching theories.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|url=https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/269851/Holy-Roman-Empire |title=Holy Roman Empire |encyclopedia=Britannica.com |date=2013 |access-date=14 January 2014}}</ref> According to Ohnsorge, for a long time, it had been the custom of Byzantium to designate the German princes as spiritual "sons" of the Romans. What might have been acceptable in the fifth century had become provoking and insulting to the Franks in the eighth century. Charles came to believe that the Roman emperor, who claimed to head the world hierarchy of states, was, in reality, no greater than Charles himself, a king as other kings, since beginning in 629 he had entitled himself "Basileus" (translated literally as "king"). Ohnsorge finds it significant that the chief wax seal of Charles, which bore only the inscription: "Christe, protege Carolum regem Francorum" [Christ, protect Charles, king of the Franks], was used from 772 to 813, even during the imperial period and was not replaced by a special imperial seal; indicating that Charles felt himself to be just the king of the Franks. Finally, Ohnsorge points out that in the spring of 813 at Aachen Charles crowned his only surviving son, Louis, as the emperor without recourse to Rome with only the acclamation of his Franks. The form in which this acclamation was offered was Frankish-Christian rather than Roman. This implies both independence from Rome and a Frankish (non-Roman) understanding of empire.<ref>{{cite book|author=Ohnsorge, Werner |chapter=Das Zweikaiserproblem im früheren Mittelalter.

Since the Saxons did not have an institution of kingship for their own ethnicity, claiming the right to rule them as King of the Saxons was not possible. Hence, it is argued, Charlemagne used the supra-ethnic Imperial title to incorporate the Saxons, which helped to cement the diverse peoples under his rule.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Henry Mayr-Harting |title=Charlemagne, the Saxons, and the Imperial Coronation of 800 |journal=The English Historical Review |date=1996|volume=111 |issue=444 November |pages=1113–1133}}</ref> ===Imperial title=== Charlemagne used these circumstances to claim that he was the [[Renovatio imperii Romanorum|"renewer of the Roman Empire"]], which had declined under the [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantines]].

''[[Monumenta Germaniae Historica]]'', Diplomata Karolinorum I, 77ff.; title used from 801 onward.</ref> ("Charles, most serene Augustus crowned by God, the great, peaceful emperor ruling the Roman empire") to the more direct ''Imperator Romanorum'' ("Emperor of the Romans"). The title of Emperor remained in the Carolingian family for years to come, but divisions of territory and in-fighting over supremacy of the Frankish state weakened its significance.{{sfn|Cantor|2015|pp=194–95, 212}} The papacy itself never forgot the title nor abandoned the right to bestow it. When the family of Charles ceased to produce worthy heirs, the Pope gladly crowned whichever Italian magnate could best protect him from his local enemies. The empire would remain in continuous existence for over a millennium, as the [[Holy Roman Empire]], a true imperial successor to Charles.{{sfn|Davies1996|pp=316–17}} ===Imperial diplomacy=== [[File:Europe 814.svg|thumb|upright=1.2|Europe at the death of the Charlemagne 814.]] The [[iconoclasm (Byzantine)|iconoclasm of the Byzantine]] [[Leo III the Isaurian|Isaurian Dynasty]] was endorsed by the Franks.<ref name=Becher2011>{{cite journal|title=Die Außenpolitik Karls des Großen.

The council was not recognised by Charlemagne since no Frankish emissaries had been invited, even though Charlemagne ruled more than three provinces of the classical Roman empire and was considered equal in rank to the Byzantine emperor. And while the Pope supported the reintroduction of the iconic veneration, he politically digressed from Byzantium.<ref name=Becher2011/> He certainly desired to increase the influence of the papacy, to honour his saviour Charlemagne, and to solve the constitutional issues then most troubling to European jurists in an era when Rome was not in the hands of an emperor. Thus, Charlemagne's assumption of the imperial title was not a usurpation in the eyes of the Franks or Italians. It was, however, seen as such in Byzantium, where it was protested by Irene and her successor [[Nikephoros I]]—neither of whom had any great effect in enforcing their protests. The East Romans, however, still held several territories in Italy: Venice (what was left of the [[Exarchate of Ravenna]]), [[Reggio Calabria|Reggio]] (in [[Calabria]]), [[Otranto]] (in [[Apulia]]), and [[Naples]] (the ''[[Ducatus Neapolitanus]]''). These regions remained outside of Frankish hands until 804, when the Venetians, torn by infighting, transferred their allegiance to the Iron Crown of Pippin, Charles' son. The ''[[Pax Nicephori]]'' ended. Nicephorus ravaged the coasts with a fleet, initiating the only instance of war between the Byzantines and the Franks. The conflict lasted until 810 when the pro-Byzantine party in Venice gave their city back to the Byzantine Emperor, and the two emperors of Europe made peace: Charlemagne received the [[Istria]]n peninsula and in 812 the emperor [[Michael I Rangabe]] recognised his status as Emperor,<ref>''eum imperatorem et basileum appellantes'', cf.

[[File:Charlemagne denier Tours 793 to 812.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Denier from the era of Charlemagne, [[Tours]], 793–812]] Charlemagne established a new standard, the {{lang|fr|[[French livre|livre carolinienne]]}} (from the Latin {{lang|la|[[Ancient Roman units of measurement|libra]]}}, the modern [[pound (currency)|pound]]), which was based upon a pound of silver—a unit of both money and weight—worth 20 sous (from the Latin {{lang|la|[[solidus (coin)|solidus]]}} [which was primarily an accounting device and never actually minted], the modern [[shilling]]) or 240 {{lang|fr|[[denier (coin)|deniers]]}} (from the Latin {{lang|la|[[denarius]]}}, the modern [[penny]]). During this period, the {{lang|fr|livre}} and the {{lang|fr|sou}} were counting units; only the {{lang|fr|denier}} was a coin of the realm. Charlemagne instituted principles for [[accountancy|accounting practice]] by means of the [[Capitulare de villis]] of 802, which laid down strict rules for the way in which incomes and expenses were to be recorded. Charlemagne applied this system to much of the European continent, and Offa's standard was voluntarily adopted by much of England. After Charlemagne's death, continental coinage degraded, and most of Europe resorted to using the continued high-quality English coin until about 1100. ===Jews in Charlemagne's realm=== Early in Charlemagne's rule he tacitly allowed Jews to monopolise [[money lending]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldology.com/Europe/early_dark_ages_3.htm |title=Charlemagne created a peaceful environment for Jews in his kingdom.

His reign is often referred to as the [[Carolingian Renaissance]] because of the flowering of scholarship, literature, art and architecture that characterise it. Charlemagne came into contact with the culture and learning of other countries (especially Moorish Spain, Anglo-Saxon England,<ref>''Charlemagne and Anglo-Saxon England'', Joanna Story, ''Charlemagne: Empire and Society'', ed. Joanna Story, (Manchester University Press, 2005), 195.</ref> and Lombard Italy) due to his vast conquests.

Due to the increased interest of intellectual pursuits and the urging of their king, the monks accomplished so much copying that almost every manuscript from that time was preserved. At the same time, at the urging of their king, scholars were producing more secular books on many subjects, including history, poetry, art, music, law, theology, etc. Due to the increased number of titles, private libraries flourished. These were mainly supported by aristocrats and churchmen who could afford to sustain them. At Charlemagne's court, a library was founded and a number of copies of books were produced, to be distributed by Charlemagne.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Charlemagne's court library revisited|journal=Early Medieval Europe|year=2003|volume=12|issue=4|pages=339–63|doi=10.1111/j.0963-9462.2004.00141.x|s2cid=247668930}}</ref><ref name="Anderson2013" /> Book production was completed slowly by hand and took place mainly in large monastic libraries.

Indeed, the earliest manuscripts available for many ancient texts are Carolingian. It is almost certain that a text which survived to the Carolingian age survives still. The pan-European nature of Charlemagne's influence is indicated by the origins of many of the men who worked for him: [[Alcuin]], an [[Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxon]] from [[York]]; [[Theodulf]], a [[Visigoths|Visigoth]], probably from [[Septimania]]; [[Paul the Deacon]], Lombard; [[Italians]] [[Peter of Pisa]] and [[Saint Paulinus II|Paulinus of Aquileia]]; and Franks [[Angilbert]], Angilram, [[Einhard]] and [[Waldo of Reichenau]]. Charlemagne promoted the [[liberal arts]] at court, ordering that his children and grandchildren be well-educated, and even studying himself (in a time when even leaders who promoted education did not take time to learn themselves) under the tutelage of Peter of Pisa, from whom he learned grammar; Alcuin, with whom he studied rhetoric, dialectic (logic), and astronomy (he was particularly interested in the movements of the stars); and Einhard, who tutored him in arithmetic.{{sfn|Dutton|2016}} His great scholarly failure, as Einhard relates, was his inability to write: when in his old age he attempted to learn—practising the formation of letters in his bed during his free time on books and wax tablets he hid under his pillow—"his effort came too late in life and achieved little success", and his ability to read—which Einhard is silent about, and which no contemporary source supports—has also been called into question.{{sfn|Dutton|2016}} In 800, Charlemagne enlarged the hostel at the [[Muristan]] in [[Jerusalem]] and added a library to it.

The deepening of the spiritual life was later to be seen as central to public policy and royal governance. His reform focused on strengthening the church's power structure, improving clergy's skill and moral quality, standardising liturgical practices, improvements on the basic tenets of the faith and the rooting out of paganism. His authority extended over church and state. He could discipline clerics, control ecclesiastical property and define orthodox doctrine.

[[Carolingian minuscule]] was created partly under the patronage of Charlemagne. [[Alcuin]], who ran the palace school and [[scriptorium]] at Aachen, was probably a chief influence. The revolutionary character of the Carolingian reform, however, can be overemphasised; efforts at taming Merovingian and Germanic influence had been underway before Alcuin arrived at Aachen. The new minuscule was disseminated first from Aachen and later from the influential scriptorium at [[Tours]], where Alcuin retired as an abbot. ===Political reforms=== Charlemagne engaged in many reforms of Frankish governance while continuing many traditional practices, such as the division of the kingdom among sons.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The rise of the medieval world, 500–1300: a biographical dictionary|last=Schulman|first=Jana K.|publisher=Greenwood Press|year=2002|isbn=978-0313011085|location=Westport, CN|page=xx}}</ref> ====Divisio regnorum==== In 806, Charlemagne first made provision for the traditional division of the empire on his death. For Charles the Younger he designated Austrasia and Neustria, Saxony, Burgundy and [[Thuringia]]. To Pippin, he gave Italy, Bavaria, and [[Swabia]]. Louis received Aquitaine, the Spanish March and [[Provence]]. The imperial title was not mentioned, which led to the suggestion that, at that particular time, Charlemagne regarded the title as an honorary achievement that held no hereditary significance. Pepin died in 810 and Charles in 811. Charlemagne then reconsidered the matter, and in 813, crowned his youngest son, Louis, co-emperor and co-King of the Franks, granting him a half-share of the empire and the rest upon Charlemagne's own death. The only part of the Empire that Louis was not promised was Italy, which Charlemagne specifically bestowed upon Pippin's illegitimate son [[Bernard of Italy|Bernard]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Noble|first=Thomas F.

He very rarely gave entertainments, only on great feast-days, and then to large numbers of people. His meals ordinarily consisted of four courses, not counting the roast, which his huntsmen used to bring in on the spit; he was more fond of this than of any other dish. While at table, he listened to reading or music.

In 1964, young French singer [[France Gall]] released the hit song "[[Sacré Charlemagne]]" in which the lyrics blame the great king for imposing the burden of compulsory education on French children. Charlemagne is quoted by Dr Henry Jones, Sr. in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]''. After using his umbrella to induce a flock of seagulls to smash through the glass cockpit of a pursuing German fighter plane, Henry Jones remarks, "I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne: 'Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky.{{'"}} Despite the quote's popularity since the movie, there is no evidence that Charlemagne actually said this.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.quidplura.com/?p=29 |title=Quid plura? {{pipe}} "Flying birds, excellent birds ..." |publisher=Quidplura.com |date=5 August 2007 |access-date=14 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200729122546/http://www.quidplura.com/?p=29|archive-date=29 July 2020}}</ref> ===21st century=== A 2010 episode of ''[[QI]]'' discussed the mathematics completed by Mark Humphrys that calculated that all modern Europeans are highly likely to share Charlemagne as a common ancestor (see [[most recent common ancestor]]).<ref>{{Cite web|title=Common ancestors of all humans|url=https://humphrysfamilytree.com/ca.html|access-date=2023-01-23|website=humphrysfamilytree.com}}</ref> ''[[The Economist]]'' featured a weekly column entitled "Charlemagne", focusing generally on European affairs and, more usually and specifically, on the [[European Union]] and its politics.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2013/09/economist-explains-itself-3|title=Where do The Economist's unusual names come from?|newspaper=The Economist|access-date=26 March 2017|date=5 September 2013}}</ref> Actor and singer [[Christopher Lee]]'s [[symphonic metal]] [[concept album]] ''[[Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross]]''<ref name=Michaels>{{cite news|last=Michaels|first=Sean|title=Christopher Lee to release 'symphonic metal' album, The man who played Dracula and Saruman is to tell the story of Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor, through the universal language of metal|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2010/jan/05/christopher-lee-symphonic-metal-album|access-date=1 January 2013|newspaper=The Guardian|date=5 January 2010|quote=The man who played Dracula, Saruman and the Man with the Golden Gun is now to portray Charlemagne—through the medium of song.

They attended the [[Acosto Conservatory]], majoring in fiber arts and weaving, when they were 85, still a child named Faen. Since, Faron lives in [[Acosto]], having apprenticed as a fiber artist for 2 years before setting off on their own. Now, Faron spends their days in the Southern Giants of their childhood weaving baskets from the natural materials of the forest. At nightfall, Faron ventures back to the city of Acosto to make the most of the nightlife and to find beautiful people to charm. However, the glowing lights of Acosto at night seem to have grown dull after many years. Perhaps Faron will depart the [[Most Serene Republic of Acosto]] in search of a new adventure. 00ac1287c402010a73d87a574dafd110d6379ec0 File:Brannick.png 6 65 306 2023-08-29T06:04:34Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 Brannick of Alaphor 0 66 307 2023-08-29T06:05:42Z HelixOxford 2 Created page with "<infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Brannick of Alaphor</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default> Brannick.png </default> </image> <header>Supreme Chancellor of Alaphor</header> <data source="ten"> <label>Tenure</label> <default>Fill -

Eldora is the tiefling daughter of Archmagus [[Arivan]], and Ghemdora.

He was born to the [[Archmagus of Solum]], Lady [[Yuvira]] and an unnamed father. As the heir-apparent of the seat of Archmagus, he studied under the tutelage of his mother, as well as earning a degree in the arcane arts from the [[Holy University of Solum]]. After graduating, Arivan decided to become an explorer, much to his mother's chagrin. His adventures took him across [[Astria]], visiting locations from North to South. He brought back many artifacts from the Northern Dominion that continue to be studied by historians. For a time, Arivan was partners with the famed [[Partitio]], before a series of disagreements regarding the sale of artifacts grew to an impassable rift between the two. == Meeting Ghemdora == Around the year 1244, Arivan was wandering the [[Middle Mountains]] when he encountered a horned humanoid creature. Fighting for his life against this being, Arivan found himself entranced by its other-worldly visage. He eventually learns this being's name, [[Ghemdora]], and begin to understand its ways. As Arivan visited her each time, intrigue turned to attraction, and eventually the two fell in love. Only a year had passed before their child, [[Eldora]], was born. Arivan left their child to Ghemdora to raise, promising to visit often. == Ascension as Archmagus == By 1248, Arivan's visit had become longer and more frequent, and he had resolved to run away from his life in [[Solum]] to be with his family to the end. However, he did wish for Eldora to see the place he had come from, the glittering splendor of the capital and the sights and sounds. Ghemdora protests due to Eldora's tiefling appearence, but he had assured her that it would be a short visit. Arivan returned to the royal quarter in the evening of the 135rd Sun, to find his mother on her deathbed. She held his hand as she passed, wishing him luck as the next Archmagus. He returned to his quarters nearly slipping out into the night with Eldora, but he was visited by Eridanion just as he is about to jump out the window with his young daughter in tow. The Archon expressed his deepest condolences for Yuvira's passing, and hoped that Arivan would stay and now finally stand by his side. He told of a prosperous [[Southern Union]], of happiness for all their people. The duties of the Archmagus have been and always will be entwined with the Archon, since the days of [[Solum]] and [[Scoria]]. Arivan ascended as [[Archmagus of Solum]] that night and has stood side by side with Eridanion for many years since, always the wise counsel and trusted friend. Yet, deep in his heart, Arivan yearns for his true love and the mother of his child, abandoned in the wastes of the North so many years ago. 4c7d24a2ffae3a73c16c37cd3d4e1bed94064fbd 213 212 2023-08-30T04:45:05Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Lord Arivan</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Arivan.png</default> </image> <header>[[Archmagus of Solum]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 135th Sun, 1248 YS - present</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Yuvira]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 73rd Sun, 1207 YS (age 57)</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Scorcross]], [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>Unnamed Father</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>[[Yuvira]]</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>[[Eldora]]</default> </data> </infobox> Lord Arivan of Solum is the current [[Archmagus of Solum]], and serves as [[Eridanion]]'s closest advisor. == Early Life and Education == Arivan was born on the morning of the 73rd Sun, 1207, in [[Scorcross]]. He was born to the [[Archmagus of Solum]], Lady [[Yuvira]] and an unnamed father. As the heir-apparent of the seat of Archmagus, he studied under the tutelage of his mother, as well as earning a degree in the arcane arts from the [[Holy University of Solum]]. After graduating, Arivan decided to become an explorer, much to his mother's chagrin. His adventures took him across [[Astria]], visiting locations from North to South. He brought back many artifacts from the Northern Dominion that continue to be studied by historians. For a time, Arivan was partners with the famed [[Partitio]], before a series of disagreements regarding the sale of artifacts grew to an impassable rift between the two. == Meeting Ghemdora == Around the year 1244, Arivan was wandering the [[Middle Mountains]] when he encountered a horned humanoid creature. Fighting for his life against this being, Arivan found himself entranced by its other-worldly visage. He eventually learned her, [[Ghemdora]], and began to understand her ways. As Arivan visited each time, curiosity turned to attraction, and eventually the two fell in love. Only a year had passed before their child, [[Eldora]], was born. Arivan left their child to Ghemdora to raise, promising to visit often. == Ascension as Archmagus == By 1248, Arivan's visits had become longer and more frequent, and he had resolved to run away from his life in [[Solum]] to be with his family to the end. However, he did wish for Eldora to see the place he had come from, the glittering splendor of the capital and the sights and sounds. Ghemdora protests due to Eldora's tiefling appearence, but he had assured her that it would be a short visit. Arivan returned to the royal quarter in the evening of the 135rd Sun, to find his mother on her deathbed. She held his hand as she passed, wishing him luck as the next Archmagus. He returned to his quarters nearly slipping out into the night with Eldora, but he was visited by Eridanion just as he is about to jump out the window with his young daughter in tow. The Archon expressed his deepest condolences for Yuvira's passing, and hoped that Arivan would stay and now finally stand by his side. He told of a prosperous [[Southern Union]], of happiness for all their people. The duties of the Archmagus have been and always will be entwined with the Archon, since the days of [[Solum]] and [[Scoria]]. Arivan ascended as [[Archmagus of Solum]] that night and has stood side by side with Eridanion for many years since, always the wise counsel and trusted friend. Yet, deep in his heart, Arivan yearns for his true love and the mother of his child, abandoned in the wastes of the North so many years ago. 2a34839638e26f26b441278573459f81e2c659e1 Yuvira 0 41 237 236 2023-08-30T04:59:13Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Lady Yuvira</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Yuvira.png</default> </image> <header>[[Archmagus of Solum]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 256th Sun, 1182 YS -

She oversaw the [[Revolt of Monsbergia]] just days after her coronation and personally led the armies of [[The Divine Empire of Solum]] during the conflict and was the only survivor of [[The Battle under the Setting Sun]]. == Early Life == Petra was born on The 354 Sun, 618 YS, in [[Pavonis]] just days before the new year. She grew up in her parents hometown for the first 18 years of her life. In 631, her family took a trip to [[Summer Festival]]. From the first moment of seeing the walls, she was enthralled with the great city of [[Solum]], and resolved to one day call it home. After her 18th birthday, Petra travelled to Solum and enrolled in the Military Academy at the [[Holy University of Solum]]. Graduating top of her class, she was selected as a member of the Archon's personal retinue and was assigned to the Northwest quadrant. Now living out her childhood dream, she became well loved amongst her fellow comrades and the people in the community she served. == Coronation and Western Crisis== Just after her 25th birthday, the Archon [[Solarion]] died in a shipwreck in [[Barnard's Bay]]. The Empire waited with bated breath throughout the new year before the [[Sun Spear]] chose Petra on The First Sun of 644. Lord [[Fulbar]] approached her while on she was on patrol. Petra was immediately escorted to the [[Cenotaph of Solum]] where she sat in meditation for 3 days, emerging with her regnal name: Petrion. Petrion had inherited an incredibly unstable situation from her predecessor Solarion, with the increasingly powerful western provinces growing unhappy. Coupled with a weak military and general decadence from the prior Archons, Petrion called for a summit with the leaders of the Western Provinces of [[Arahall]] and [[Monsberg]] to attempt to sort out more favourable terms. It was decided that The Lord [[Albor of Monsberg]] and Petrion would meet in [[Alaphor]] for diplomatic talks in 35 days time, on the 36th Sun. However, it was not known to Petrion that Lord Albor had been plotting to overthrow the Archon for generations. [[Monsberg]] had been secretly forging weapons in [[Craeus]] and raising a well trained army. With tensions rising due to Solarion’s unpopular reforms and the general decadence of the Archon in recent years, Monsberg was looking for a spark to ignite their war. == Revolt and Formation of the Grand Duchy of Monsbergia == On the 30th Sun, 664, when Lord Albor was travelling to Alaphor on the supposed diplomatic trip, his caravan was attacked by bandits just north of Pavonis. He was supposedly killed in the attack. As soon as word reached Monsberg, his daughter [[Seris]] was crowned The Lady Seris of Monsberg. She first declared the [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]] with The Lord [[Ceraun of Arahall]]. She declared herself the first [[Grand Duchess of Monsbergia]]. She declares war on [[The Divine Empire of Solum]] and the Archon herself with hopes of realizing her family's dream of an independent Monsberg to stand equal with Solum. It seemed like the Army of Monsbergia appeared out of nowhere to the outside powers, but Arahall had been forging weapons for years and both provinces had been conscripting soldiers for years as well, designating them government miners and labourers. However, when The Lady Seris declared war, twenty thousand heavily armed soldiers marched east. Due to the decadence of the prior Archons, Petrion’s standing army was small and ill-equipped. The primary force were the Archon’s personal retinue of about 500 soldiers charged with guarding the city of Solum and the surrounding countryside and levies in Solum only numbered 1500. Yet, Petrion raised whatever forces she had and took up the Sun Spear for the first time, preparing to march her army to meet the revolt on the field of battle. She sent word to the loyal provinces for levies but the time it would take to muster would take too long. Leaving the Archmagus Lord [[Fulbar]] to rally the rest of the troops, Petrion would undertake the two-week march to [[Chara]] with only 2000 troops to attempt to defend the city. At the same time [[Sir Caroli]], who had also received word that the invasion was incoming. Based on average marching speeds, the army of Monsbergia would arrive at the fortress city of Chara in just over one week. Petrion marched her forces over 80 kilometres per day to reach the city before Lady Seris would. Arriving just hours before, Archon Petrion and Sir Caroli worked together to lay defenses for the city. They were heavily outnumbered, with scouting reports saying they would be outnumbered by at least five to one. == The Siege of Chara == The Army of Monsbergia reached Chara on the 38th Sun, just after Petrion had entered the city and began laying defenses. The attackers quickly set up a camp around the city and prepared for siege. For about two weeks, both sides were quiet. While the defenders dug in, ready to hold the city, Lord Ceraun had fashioned several large siege towers to take the walls. Groups of soldiers climbed inside and began to approach the wall on The 53rd Sun. Without the power of the Archmagus or an awakened Sun Spear, the defenders were unable to deal any significant damage to the siege towers. Five towers hit the walls and attackers spilled onto the walls and engaged in fierce close quarters fighting. Due to the relatively thin walls, the attackers’ number advantage was somewhat mitigated with each wall section acting as its own choke point. However, it was also the thin walls that caused the downfall of the city. As the siege towers provided access to the top of the walls, rams were sent towards the city. Petrion ordered her cavalry to destroy the rams before they could reach the wall. Her force of 300 horse-mounted soldiers rode out with flame in hand to burn the wooden rams. They were able to destroy 4 out 6 rams before they were forced to retreat, suffering over 50% casualties. The first ram was able to easily collapse a small section of wall, killing both Monsberg and Solum forces fighting atop. Lord Ceraun led the charge through the first breach, [[Forge of Adella]] in hand, smashing stone and skull alike. He would meet Sir Caroli in single combat for the first time shortly after crossing into the city. As the weapons of former allies clashed, a second breach was opened allowing Lady Seris to flank the much smaller defending force forcing them into the city. The defenders were pushed back through the city streets, occasionally surrounded and cut off. The fighting was not all easy for the attackers, for every foot of ground given a large cost was paid in blood. Petrion and a dozen of her retinue were able to fend off an incursion of over 50 Monsbergians before exhaustion from use of the Sun Spear forced her to retreat. Ceraun was initially defeated by Caroli in their duel, but before Caroli could land the finishing blow, a siege tower crashed through the wall, throwing rubble and dust and giving Lord Ceraun a chance to escape. Fighting continued into the night as neither side would give in. As well as the defenders were holding, with their losses mounting it became clear that the city was lost. With the majority of the Monsbergian Army within the castle walls, Petrion ordered a retreat through a side gate. As troops fled out of the castle walls, Seris and Ceraun advanced to attempt to cut off the fleeing soldiers. To allow their soldiers time to escape, Petrion lit a massive wall of flame across the city streets, forcing any attackers down a single narrow path. At this point, she was nearly on the verge of death from overexertion. As her vision blurred, she saw Sir Caroli lift the [[Sword of Chara]] to the air and duel both Lord Ceraun and Lady Seris simultaneously. Even though he was the superior single combatant, the attacks from both the Forge and Seris' [[Spear of Seris|spear]] eventually overwhelmed him, but his sacrifice allowed the near catatonic Petrion to escape with just under half her initial troops. With a decisive victory in hand, the captors of Chara would then stay in the city regrouping and calling additional reinforcements before they would attempt a march on Solum itself. In this time, Petrion would return to Solum, where Lord Fulbar had massed every available soldier from the loyal provinces. Fulbar had also personally travelled to [[Scorcross]] to retrieve the [[Staff of Scoria]] from its perch, intending to use it to preserve Solum at any cost. It had not been used since the time of [[Scoria]] herself. By The 68th Sun, Petrion had regained her strength in Solum, her soldiers ready to defend the capital. At the same time, Seris had consolidated her troops in Chara. Lady Seris has hesitant to make the next move, knowing the legends of the of the awesome power of the true Sun Spear, but time was not on Monsbergia’s side. The longer she waited, the more forces Petrion could gather from the loyal provinces and even the [[League of Igeum]] in the south. It would be crucial to strike at the heart of Solum and crush it before it could gather its full might. Thus, Lady Seris and Lord Ceraun marched their army directly to Solum. == The Battle under the Setting Sun == As Seris marched her troops east, Petrion had also gathered her forces and headed west to meet them before they reached the city, believing a repeat of the Siege of Chara would be disastrous. The armies would meet in the grasslands about 200 km west of Solum. The armies met and waited. As the sun set behind Seris’ army, Ceraun on the northern flank would be the first to make a move, ordering his troops to advance and encircle Petrion’s northern flank. Feigning retreat, her northern army fell back, before Fulbar unleashed a lightning storm on the clumped soldiers to devastating effect. Bolt after bolt dropped from the sky deafening soldiers on both sides as soldiers were ignited and melted within their very armor. Still with the numbers advantage, Seris ordered a charge down the hill into Petrion’s main line. The armies clashed, spear shattering on shield, and sword breaking on steel. The melee was fierce with both leaders leading the charge from the frontlines. In the meantime, Fulbar’s lightning had nearly decimated Ceraun’s flank, forcing his retreat and a counter of the flanking maneuver with Fulbar leading the north. The armies now seem evenly matched with neither side giving much ground. As the last rays of light began to sink below the horizon, the forces of Monsbergia began to advance, their superior training and discipline becoming evidence as the battle turned to attrition. Knowing she had no other choice, Petrion gave the order. Lord Fulbar retreated to the backlines and began an incantation. The leaders of Monsbergia saw this and began to aggressively cut down the faltering Solan soldiers trying to reach the now immobile Fulbar. Petrion had to defend her Archmagus at any cost. Abandoning her troops she alone fell back as well, preparing for single combat against the Lady Seris who was cutting down soldiers, beelining for the back ranks. Even as scores of men surrounded her, a single flourish of her spear was it took to surround her with the dead. Ceraun descended from the right, Seris from the left, it was Petrion’s and perhaps the Empire’s last stand. She first charged at Ceraun catching him off guard and piercing his leg as she dodged a downward swing from the Forge. Flame sprung from the Sun Spear, as the combatants could feel the air around them begin to warm. Petrion’s movements became faster, her strikes stronger. Ceraun could not keep up as Seris attempted to get past her and reach Fulbar. Suddenly, the Sun Spear pierced Ceraun’s arm. Petrion kicked the Forge out of his hands, it spun in the air turning back into the craftshammer for a few moments before Petrion leapt over his faltering body and caught it midair. Triggering its transformation as she swung down, she shattered the Spear of Seris with the very tool that created it. Fury blazed into Seris' eyes as she looked up from her weapon, splintered at her feet. She lunged at Petrion with inhuman speed, catching the Archon off guard for a moment and nearly reaching Fulbar with an outstretched gauntlet. Only it was too late. Fulbar’s ritual came to a crescendo then flame spewed out over the battlefield, engulfing both armies in fire and burning the fields for miles around. After casting this [[Scoria's Inferno|Inferno]], the Staff had disappeared, leaving only dancing flames across the battlefield, illuminating the twilight, the cacophony of screams echoing across the great plain. In the end, there were only charred husks and metal in the shape of men. Thus those plains were named the [[Fields of the Final Armours]]. When the fire died down, Petrion was left standing, kept immune from the flames by the sunfire that burned within her. Alone in a field of corpses of her people, Solan and Monsbergian. == Aftermath == With both armies decimated, neither side could afford to fight any further. The Divine Empire of Solum would be joined in the north by the Grand Duchy of Monsbergia, and Grand Duchess [[Dalia of Monsberg|Dalia]], daughter of Lady Seris. The border would be set at Chara acting as a border town to prevent further disputes, and both countries would be charged with the defense of [[Solum’s Gate]]. With the deaths of Lady Seris and Lord Ceraun at the Battle under the Setting Sun, the leadership of their provinces, and the newly established fell to the next in line. The Lady Dalia would inherit the province of Monsberg and her mother's titles, while The Lady [[Amenthis of Arahall|Amenthis]] would become [[The Lady of Arahall]] inheriting the Forge from her father. The Sword of Chara was found still in the fortress by Petrion weeks later. The few soldiers left behind would tell that Seris refused to use her fallen foe’s weapon, regarding the act as dishonourable. The Staff of Scoria is still lost, as later writings would find that Scoria had left a curse on the staff before she passed, causing it to teleport to a random location after every use to prevent others from using her awesome power for too long. The shards of Seris’ spear would be collected by Dalia in the aftermath, and stored in the [[Fortress of Monsberg]]. At the end of her life, she brought them to Arahall and together with Amenthis, she reforged her mother’s spear and it was placed with her body in the Mausoleum of Monsberg. It is still unknown if the death of Lord Albor was truly an unrelated accident as Petrion claimed at the time, or a false flag set up by Albor himself to spark the Revolt. == Later life == Petrion was not a particularly popular Archon after the rebellion, having lost the western provinces, with some seeing her as the continuation of Solarion. Others thought her a butcher, having led over ten thousand soldiers to their deaths during the rebellion. She became known in Monsbergia as the Butcher under the Setting Sun for her actions during that decisive battle. However, there were also those who supported her decisions, deeming her as the Flame of the East, for preserving the capital at any cost. Her actions weighed heavily over her during her reign, but ultimately she saw no other way to preserve the Empire. She would reign for 32 years before passing due to illness at only 57 years old, perhaps punishment for the blood on her hands. 8722b0195c976e62eb94ddb9794efbf909b13fb9 Albor of Monsberg 0 39 234 233 2023-08-30T05:59:22Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Albor of Monsberg</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Albor.png</default> </image> <header>[[The Lord of Monsberg]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>Fill - The 30th Sun, 644 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Seris the Sunderer]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="dd"> <label>Deathdate</label> <default>The 30th Sun, 644 YS (aged Fill)</default> </data> <data source="dp"> <label>Deathplace</label> <default>Near [[Pavonis]], [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>Unnamed mother</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>[[Seris the Sunderer]]</default> </data> </infobox> 73015b97a5e9d9f94ef7e0137f8d0c1887179bca Seris 0 84 354 2023-08-30T06:05:25Z HelixOxford 2 Redirected page to [[Seris the Sunderer]] wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Seris the Sunderer]] 67652a247484fcedfde48b621f5a68bd3527946b Spear of Seris 0 85 355 2023-08-30T06:30:13Z HelixOxford 2 Created page with "<infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Mother's Legacy, The Spear of Seris</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default></default> </image> <data source="creat"> <label>Created</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="loc"> <label>Current Location</label> <default>[[Mausoleum of Monsberg]], Tomb of [[Dalia of Monsberg]]</default> </data> </infobox>" wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Mother's Legacy, The Spear of Seris</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default></default> </image> <data source="creat"> <label>Created</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="loc"> <label>Current Location</label> <default>[[Mausoleum of Monsberg]], Tomb of [[Dalia of Monsberg]]</default> </data> </infobox> bc5a363e093adf6b9ffda34bc32d6455920457df Main Page 0 1 27 26 2023-08-30T06:37:52Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki == Welcome to the Chronicle of Eridanion == On the continent of [[Astria]], the year is 1264.

It was founded in 170, with the noble Aschen from Alaphor spearheading the expansion of territory further south of [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]. Due to its central location and relatively short distance to many major epicenters on the continent, the [[Messenger’s Guild]] headquarters were eventually established in the city around 358 by its founder, [[Armondo Vonbach]], namesake of the [[Vonbach Range]]. Due to the constant flux of messengers passing through the city, Aschen has developed an incredibly unique identity, featuring a culture that has adopted many traditions and teachings brought from afar. As a result, this has fostered a deep-rooted curiosity of the world in her people. There’s no coincidence that many children look up to adventurers as their heroes, striving to become messengers themselves in the future. == Recent Mining Boom == For most of its history, Aschen’s economy has never been anything exceptional or particularly interesting in the least. Their main export and source of income was from farming, more specifically terrace farming due to its elevated terrain. Potatoes, tomatoes, various grains alike were planted and harvested aplenty every season. They’ve never struggled to reach ends meet but they haven’t exactly excelled either. At least that was the case until just recently however. An incredibly ambitious politician by the name of [[Richard Aschen]] has laid the groundwork for a momentous windfall of prosperity. Being located on mountainous terrain, mining stone has always been a staple of Aschen’s trade and business. Yet, excavations could only proceed so far due to limitations in both knowledge and experience in the trade. Due to recent collaboration with the far more advanced mining industry of [[Craeus]] that was negotiated by Senator Richard, the sector has seen an unprecedented boost in productivity and profit. It is more shocking considering that the terms of the collaboration require Aschen to share 30% of the profit earned with Craeus themselves. However, the hustle and bustle of the mines in Aschen was short-lived. Aschen as of 2 months ago have mysteriously shut down all mining operations and all access to the mines have been cut off by the military, citing safety precautions. Rumour has it that the Craeus people who had been residing in Aschen to help with the collaboration have been sent back in droves. This sudden breakdown and animosity has left many puzzled. Senator Aschen, the minister of mining operations, has refused to comment on the situation. This lack of communication has resulted in rising tensions between Aschen and Craeus. == Government == The Senate is made up of twenty senators that govern the people of Aschen. Each senator represents a distinct area of expertise regarding the affairs and governance of the city. For example, Senator Richard Aschen presides over all mining operations and related activities. The head of the senate is known as the Prime Senator, wielding absolute power and has the final say in all decisions made in collaboration by the senate. However, as a member of the League of Igeum, the [[Supreme Chancellor of Igeum]] holds veto power in any and all legislation. Furthermore, the Supreme Chancellor may declare any executive order without opposition, for the duration of up to 6 months. 8d8396ab7fe7b06984528c805a9d4b9f88f2b2e7 358 357 2023-08-31T04:00:13Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Aschen</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default></default> </image> <data source="country"> <label>Country</label> <default>[[League of Igeum]]</default> </data> <data source="found"> <label>Founding</label> <default>170 YS</default> </data> <data source="lang"> <label>Langauges</label> <default>[[Common]]</default> </data> <data source="demo"> <label>Denomym</label> <default>Aschener</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>Government</label> <default>Senatorial Republic</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>[[Prime Senator]]</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="pop"> <label>Population</label> <default>35845</default> </data> <data source="el"> <label>Elevation</label> <default>576 m above sea level</default> </data> <data source="temp"> <label>Average temperature</label> <default>12&deg;C</default> </data> </infobox> Aschen is the fourth largest city in the [[League of Igeum]] and the capital of the territory of Aschen. == History and Founding == Aschen has a rich history, being one of the territories that played an important role in the eventual formation of the League of Igeum.

Rumour has it that the Craeus people who had been residing in Aschen to help with the collaboration have been sent back in droves. This sudden breakdown and animosity has left many puzzled. Senator Aschen, the minister of mining operations, has refused to comment on the situation. This lack of communication has resulted in rising tensions between Aschen and Craeus. == Government == The Senate is made up of twenty senators that govern the people of Aschen. Each senator represents a distinct area of expertise regarding the affairs and governance of the city. For example, Senator Richard Aschen presides over all mining operations and related activities. The head of the senate is known as the Prime Senator, wielding absolute power and has the final say in all decisions made in collaboration by the senate. However, as a member of the League of Igeum, the [[Supreme Chancellor of Igeum]] holds veto power in any and all legislation. Furthermore, the Supreme Chancellor may declare any executive order without opposition, for the duration of up to 6 months. 51ebb90acc8b1cb0a3669a3ffbebf7286158c9ea 360 359 2023-08-31T04:05:22Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Aschen</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default></default> </image> <data source="country"> <label>Country</label> <default>[[League of Igeum]]</default> </data> <data source="found"> <label>Founding</label> <default>170 YS</default> </data> <data source="lang"> <label>Langauges</label> <default>[[Common]]</default> </data> <data source="demo"> <label>Denomym</label> <default>Aschener</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>Government</label> <default>Senatorial Republic</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>[[Prime Senator]]</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="pop"> <label>Population</label> <default>35845</default> </data> <data source="el"> <label>Elevation</label> <default>576 m above sea level</default> </data> <data source="temp"> <label>Average temperature</label> <default>12&deg;C</default> </data> </infobox> Aschen is the fourth largest city in the [[League of Igeum]] and the capital of the territory of Aschen. == History and Founding == Aschen has a rich history, being one of the territories that played an important role in the eventual formation of the League of Igeum. It was founded in 170, with the noble [[Aschen of Alaphor]] spearheading the expansion of territory further south of [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]. Due to its central location and relatively short distance to many major epicenters on the continent, the [[Messenger’s Guild]] headquarters were eventually established in the city around 358 by its founder, [[Armondo Vonbach]], namesake of the [[Vonbach Range]]. Due to the constant flux of messengers passing through the city, Aschen has developed an incredibly unique identity, featuring a culture that has adopted many traditions and teachings brought from afar. As a result, this has fostered a deep-rooted curiosity of the world in her people. There’s no coincidence that many children look up to adventurers as their heroes, striving to become messengers themselves in the future. == Recent Mining Boom == For most of its history, Aschen’s economy has never been anything exceptional or particularly interesting in the least. Their main export and source of income was from farming, more specifically terrace farming due to its elevated terrain. Potatoes, tomatoes, various grains alike were planted and harvested aplenty every season. They’ve never struggled to reach ends meet but they haven’t exactly excelled either. At least that was the case until just recently however. An incredibly ambitious politician by the name of [[Richard of Aschen]] has laid the groundwork for a momentous windfall of prosperity. Being located on mountainous terrain, mining stone has always been a staple of Aschen’s trade and business. Yet, excavations could only proceed so far due to limitations in both knowledge and experience in the trade. Due to recent collaboration with the far more advanced mining industry of [[Craeus]] that was negotiated by Senator Richard, the sector has seen an unprecedented boost in productivity and profit.

No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long.

A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in Toliman for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home.

A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in Toliman for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns.

Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. == The 301st Sun, 1264 YS == Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] == The 308th Sun, 1264 YS == After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the part around the city walls. 26ef1c4cfa7215ee75c5b84308dab995bfb84bc7 The Tavern at the End of the World 0 90 404 2023-09-01T21:10:49Z HelixOxford 2 Created page with "The Tavern at the End of the World is the only tavern or restaurant or inn in the small town of Toliman." wikitext text/x-wiki The Tavern at the End of the World is the only tavern or restaurant or inn in the small town of Toliman. 7baab5c2250fcd284cbfc8d32ad85889c9b35300 405 404 2023-09-01T21:11:16Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki The Tavern at the End of the World is the only tavern or restaurant or inn in the small town of [[Toliman]]. c2b049e14fa049cc76a1f1707d39d7c46de8aaf9 File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png 6 91 406 2023-09-01T21:16:02Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 407 406 2023-09-01T21:19:20Z HelixOxford 2 HelixOxford uploaded a new version of [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png]] wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 Bernard 0 92 408 2023-09-02T06:55:11Z HelixOxford 2 Created page with "Bernard was a childhood friend of [[Colt]] and [[Mikey]].

Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] == The 308th Sun, 1264 YS == After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkwardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the park around the city walls. === Colt's Party === Colt takes his party to the address he was given on the edge of the Ducal Quarter of Arahall. Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. ---- SOMEHOW THEY DECIDE TO ROB HIM? Someone fill this discussion in please. ---- Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. 6ae844d929505c9915811cffcb400f1f67e30af2 381 380 2023-09-04T07:30:14Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore. A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in Toliman for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. == The 301st Sun, 1264 YS == Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well.

This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. === Illya's Party === 3207b14a761e367f1e8dfb9b6d91dfba894a55b9 383 382 2023-09-05T05:29:38Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore.

Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. ---- SOMEHOW THEY DECIDE TO ROB HIM? Someone fill this discussion in please. ---- Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. [[File:Tobiashouselayout.png|200px|thumb|right|Layout of Tobias' house.]] After searching for a couple minutes, they reach the second door within the house. This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. === Illya's Party === <imagemap> File:Union.png|thumb|center|500px|alt=map of the union|test default [[Main Page]] </imagemap> da05e490da3d8e6500ab55e93d5fdf7ecdbaa453 384 383 2023-09-05T05:37:46Z HelixOxford 2 /* Illya's Party */ wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore. A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in Toliman for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. == The 301st Sun, 1264 YS == Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind.

Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] == The 308th Sun, 1264 YS == After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkwardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the park around the city walls. === Colt's Party === Colt takes his party to the address he was given on the edge of the Ducal Quarter of Arahall. Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. ---- SOMEHOW THEY DECIDE TO ROB HIM? Someone fill this discussion in please. ---- Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. [[File:Tobiashouselayout.png|200px|thumb|right|Layout of Tobias' house.]] After searching for a couple minutes, they reach the second door within the house. This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. === Illya's Party === 3207b14a761e367f1e8dfb9b6d91dfba894a55b9 387 386 2023-09-05T06:20:40Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore. A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in [[Toliman]] for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. == The 301st Sun, 1264 YS == Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern.

He was born to the [[Archmagus of Solum]], Lady [[Yuvira]] and an unnamed father. As the heir-apparent of the seat of Archmagus, he studied under the tutelage of his mother, as well as earning a degree in the arcane arts from the [[Holy University of Solum]]. After graduating, Arivan decided to become an explorer, much to his mother's chagrin. His adventures took him across [[Astria]], visiting locations from North to South. He brought back many artifacts from the Northern Dominion that continue to be studied by historians. For a time, Arivan was partners with the famed [[Partitio]], before a series of disagreements regarding the sale of artifacts grew to an impassable rift between the two. == Meeting Ghemdora == Around the year 1244, Arivan was wandering the [[Middle Mountains]] when he encountered a horned humanoid creature. Fighting for his life against this being, Arivan found himself entranced by its other-worldly visage. He eventually learned her, [[Ghemdora]], and began to understand her ways. As Arivan visited each time, curiosity turned to attraction, and eventually the two fell in love. Only a year had passed before their child, [[Eldora]], was born. Arivan left their child to Ghemdora to raise, promising to visit often. [[File:Arivanyoung.png|thumb|200px|left|Arivan as a younger man]] == Ascension as Archmagus == By 1248, Arivan's visits had become longer and more frequent, and he had resolved to run away from his life in [[Solum]] to be with his family to the end. However, he did wish for Eldora to see the place he had come from, the glittering splendor of the capital and the sights and sounds. Ghemdora protests due to Eldora's tiefling appearence, but he had assured her that it would be a short visit. Arivan returned to the royal quarter in the evening of the 135rd Sun, to find his mother on her deathbed. She held his hand as she passed, wishing him luck as the next Archmagus. He returned to his quarters nearly slipping out into the night with Eldora, but he was visited by Eridanion just as he is about to jump out the window with his young daughter in tow. The Archon expressed his deepest condolences for Yuvira's passing, and hoped that Arivan would stay and now finally stand by his side. He told of a prosperous [[Southern Union]], of happiness for all their people. The duties of the Archmagus have been and always will be entwined with the Archon, since the days of [[Solum]] and [[Scoria]]. Arivan ascended as [[Archmagus of Solum]] that night and has stood side by side with Eridanion for many years since, always the wise counsel and trusted friend. Yet, deep in his heart, Arivan yearns for his true love and the mother of his child, abandoned in the wastes of the North so many years ago. a9160410f3aa475eca2771221154a35cae10bf3b File:Union2.png 6 107 451 2023-09-06T05:13:39Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 Pavonis 0 108 452 2023-09-06T06:23:19Z HelixOxford 2 Created page with "<infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Solum</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default></default> </image> <data source="country"> <label>Country</label> <default>[[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="found"> <label>Founding</label> <default>0 YS</default> </data> <data source="lang"> <label>Langauges</label> <default>[[Common]]</default> </data> <data source="demo"> <label>Denom..." wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Solum</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default></default> </image> <data source="country"> <label>Country</label> <default>[[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="found"> <label>Founding</label> <default>0 YS</default> </data> <data source="lang"> <label>Langauges</label> <default>[[Common]]</default> </data> <data source="demo"> <label>Denomym</label> <default>Pavonian</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>Government</label> <default>Monarchy</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>[[The Lord of Pavonis]]</label> <default>[[Logar the Vast]]</default> </data> <data source="pop"> <label>Population</label> <default>44680</default> </data> <data source="el"> <label>Elevation</label> <default>196 m above sea level</default> </data> <data source="temp"> <label>Average temperature</label> <default>10&deg;C</default> </data> </infobox> 700e4ea252e503088e2503f882d3ce4f72a0a63f 453 452 2023-09-06T06:25:53Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Solum</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default></default> </image> <data source="country"> <label>Country</label> <default>[[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="found"> <label>Founding</label> <default>0 YS</default> </data> <data source="lang"> <label>Langauges</label> <default>[[Common]]</default> </data> <data source="demo"> <label>Denomym</label> <default>Pavonian</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>Government</label> <default>Monarchy</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>[[The Lord of Pavonis]]</label> <default>[[Logar the Vast]]</default> </data> <data source="pop"> <label>Population</label> <default>44680</default> </data> <data source="el"> <label>Elevation</label> <default>196 m above sea level</default> </data> <data source="temp"> <label>Average temperature</label> <default>10&deg;C</default> </data> </infobox> Pavonis is a city in [[The Divine Empire of Solum]].

It was founded in 170, with the noble [[Aschen of Alaphor]] spearheading the expansion of territory further south of [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]. Due to its central location and relatively short distance to many major epicenters on the continent, the [[Messenger’s Guild]] headquarters were eventually established in the city around 358 by its founder, [[Armondo Vonbach]], namesake of the [[Vonbach Range]]. Due to the constant flux of messengers passing through the city, Aschen has developed an incredibly unique identity, featuring a culture that has adopted many traditions and teachings brought from afar. As a result, this has fostered a deep-rooted curiosity of the world in her people. There’s no coincidence that many children look up to adventurers as their heroes, striving to become messengers themselves in the future. == Recent Mining Boom == For most of its history, Aschen’s economy has never been anything exceptional or particularly interesting in the least. Their main export and source of income was from farming, more specifically terrace farming due to its elevated terrain. Potatoes, tomatoes, various grains alike were planted and harvested aplenty every season. They’ve never struggled to reach ends meet but they haven’t exactly excelled either. At least that was the case until just recently however. An incredibly ambitious politician by the name of [[Richard of Aschen]] has laid the groundwork for a momentous windfall of prosperity. Being located on mountainous terrain, mining stone has always been a staple of Aschen’s trade and business. Yet, excavations could only proceed so far due to limitations in both knowledge and experience in the trade. Due to recent collaboration with the far more advanced mining industry of [[Craeus]] that was negotiated by Senator Richard, the sector has seen an unprecedented boost in productivity and profit. It is more shocking considering that the terms of the collaboration require Aschen to share 30% of the profit earned with Craeus themselves. However, the hustle and bustle of the mines in Aschen was short-lived. Aschen as of 2 months ago have mysteriously shut down all mining operations and all access to the mines have been cut off by the military, citing safety precautions. Rumour has it that the Craeus people who had been residing in Aschen to help with the collaboration have been sent back in droves. This sudden breakdown and animosity has left many puzzled. Senator Aschen, the minister of mining operations, has refused to comment on the situation. This lack of communication has resulted in rising tensions between Aschen and Craeus. == Government == The [[Senate of Aschen]] is made up of twenty senators that govern the people of Aschen. Each senator represents a distinct area of expertise regarding the affairs and governance of the city. For example, Senator Richard Aschen presides over all mining operations and related activities. The head of the senate is known as the [[Prime Senator]], wielding absolute power within the territory and has the final say in all decisions made in collaboration by the senate. However, as a member of the League of Igeum, the [[Supreme Chancellor of Igeum]] holds veto power in any and all legislation.

It is the seat of the [[Archon of Solum]] as well as the [[Council of Five]]. Notable buildings include the [[Cenotaph of Solum]], the [[Council Chambers]], and the entire [[Palace Complex]]. The old city with mostly original buildings is encased in the [[Five Walls of Solum]], and the quadrant system within still forms the basis for administration outside the walls and into the present. Solum is also home to the [[Holy University of Solum]] and its schools of magic and architecture. It is notoriously difficult to be granted admission and it is believed that many pupils are scouted from childhood by the university's officers. 5df56be899fd99cb28f10701b6f406b49d690135 Main Page 0 1 45 44 2023-09-07T05:54:22Z HelixOxford 2 /* List of Locations */ wikitext text/x-wiki == Welcome to the Chronicle of Eridanion == On the continent of [[Astria]], the year is 1264.

Home to the imposing [[Monsberg Fortress]]. == Founding and History == == Major Districts == Perched on a large hill in the middle of the city is Monsberg Castle, a restoration of an ancient fortress standing on the same site. Monsberg Castle is the Ducal residence for the Duke and their family, along with a garrison of guards and servicepeople. Around the base of the hill as a wide encircling promenade, host to homes of prominent figures and public buildings. In fact, much of the city layout has evolved, either by conscious design or pure coincidence, into quadrants separated by the staircases. [[File:Monsberg fortress sketch.png|thumb|400px|left|A sketch of Castle Monsberg by an unknown artist of architect.]] Just northeast of the city is a massive quarry producing much of the Union’s stone resources. Stone from Monsberg has been used in construction projects from the [[Cenotaph of Solum]] to the [[Great Elmhol Bridge]] to Monsberg Fortress itself. The Jezero Junction has been a meeting place for traders and merchants for centuries, and hosts a large market square next to the harbour. The Market features a variety of local craftspeople and items for sale, from trinkets to weapons and is often host to live travelling musicians and other entertainers. It is also believed by many that this is the site of some blackmarket antique and artifact trading, but it is unknown to the public how to access this part of the market. 87561194eadbc2c5b3527c8ebd14f28fa21f2fa6 Groombridge 0 126 482 2023-09-07T06:18:34Z HelixOxford 2 Created page with "<infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Groombridge</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default></default> </image> <data source="country"> <label>Country</label> <default>[[Confederacy of Barnard]]</default> </data> <data source="found"> <label>Founding</label> <default>FILL YS</default> </data> <data source="lang"> <label>Langauges</label> <default>[[Common]]</default> </data> <data source="demo"> <label>..." wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Groombridge</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default></default> </image> <data source="country"> <label>Country</label> <default>[[Confederacy of Barnard]]</default> </data> <data source="found"> <label>Founding</label> <default>FILL YS</default> </data> <data source="lang"> <label>Langauges</label> <default>[[Common]]</default> </data> <data source="demo"> <label>Denomym</label> <default>Bridger</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>Government</label> <default>Municipal Council</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>Mayor of Groombridge</label> <default>[[Sabine Kilyaris]]</default> </data> <data source="pop"> <label>Population</label> <default>6481</default> </data> <data source="el"> <label>Elevation</label> <default>25 m above sea level</default> </data> <data source="temp"> <label>Average temperature</label> <default>11&deg;C</default> </data> </infobox> Groombridge is a town in the [[Confederacy of Barnard]].

Shipping from across the Union arrives in Teegarden from as far as [[Acosto]] to be sent upriver to [[Solum]]. Outside its primary focus as a shipping hub, Teegarden also specialises in producing ornate wooden bowls, prized for their intricate design and reputation for lasting quality. A local favourite is Garden chowder, which confusingly is neither a soup nor does it contain vegetables. It is a fried dough sandwich with local Teegarden fish. 2cad9954a032ab1ed4bd8e9777dc1fb76ae26dee Alaphor 0 129 485 2023-09-07T06:42:56Z HelixOxford 2 Created page with "<infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Alaphor</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default></default> </image> <data source="country"> <label>Country</label> <default>[[League of Igeum]]</default> </data> <data source="found"> <label>Founding</label> <default>54 YS</default> </data> <data source="lang"> <label>Langauges</label> <default>[[Common]]</default> </data> <data source="demo"> <label>Denomym</labe..." wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Alaphor</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default></default> </image> <data source="country"> <label>Country</label> <default>[[League of Igeum]]</default> </data> <data source="found"> <label>Founding</label> <default>54 YS</default> </data> <data source="lang"> <label>Langauges</label> <default>[[Common]]</default> </data> <data source="demo"> <label>Denomym</label> <default>Alaphorian</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>Government</label> <default>State Government</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>[[Governor of Alaphor]]</label> <default>[[Maren Zarall]]</default> </data> <data source="pop"> <label>Population</label> <default>253133</default> </data> <data source="el"> <label>Elevation</label> <default>100 m above sea level</default> </data> <data source="temp"> <label>Average temperature</label> <default>11&deg;C</default> </data> </infobox> Capital of the [[League of Igeum]], Alaphor grew to prominence as a primary producer of wheat and rice.

In the time since, it also became a popular vacation destination, renowned for its beaches and nightlife. The [[Southern Tip Trail]] from Acosto to [[Bracketton]] is famed for its stunning views of the ocean and forests, and is a bucket list destination for every outdoorsperson.

the eastern port of the [[League of Igeum]]. Famous for its shipbuilding and paper industries utilizing the forests around it, paper was actually invented by shipwrights to better materials used in shipbuilding. Pfundy Harbour is the second largest port in the League after [[Lyman]], and is responsible for shipping resources across the the west coast. It is also near the mysterious [[River of the Caretakers]] and is thus a hotspot for encounters with the group. == Founding and History == In the year 185 YS, a group of settlers travelled west from [[Aschen]] and were greeted by the Western Coast. A person among them, [[Pfundis]], realizes the trees in the area happened to be particularly water resistant. == The West Coast Sailing Race == The [[West Coast Sailing Race]] traditionally begins in Pfundy. Initially, it ended at [[Planum]], but has been extended to [[Toliman]], providing an influx of people for the small town. The current record to Toliman stands at just over 28 hours, and is held by a mysterious man. Spectators report that he sailed dangerously far to the coast and strangely wore a red scarf, flapping in the wind, for the entirety of the voyage. 75f3c92bdfd7ecbe75f5feea9669b78d9dbc9462 Main Page 0 1 46 45 2023-09-08T02:35:03Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki == Welcome to the Chronicle of Eridanion == On the continent of [[Astria]], the year is 1264.

His upbringing involved a strict academic schedule as both his parents wished to see their son exceed them. And exceed them he would. == Coronation == The 21st Archon, Carinum, was crowned on the 218st Sun of the 859th Year of Solum. He was Carrick, a 34 year old historian who had been working in the Scorian Library at the Holy University. Carrick had been particularly interested in the few writings on the [[Northern Dominion]] and had spent most of his career piecing together the story of Solum and the First Five. The first complete chronicle of [[Solum the Neverfading|Solum]]’s life is attributed to Carrick. While Solum’s story shed light on the final days of the Northern Dominion, the mysteries of this vast empire and the reasons for its fall were still shrouded in legend and doubt. After the death of [[Cainum]], the [[Sun Spear]] chose Carrick only 3 days after the [[Archon of Solum|Archon]]’s passing. He was writing the latest chapter of his Chronicle of Solum when the [[Archmagus of Solum]], [[Khalek]] approached him in his study. Knowing now his destiny had changed, Carrick went confidently to the [[Cenotaph of Solum]], a building he had dreamed of entering his whole life. He would spend 6 days in meditation before emerging with his regnal name: Carinum. Carinum would reign over a relatively stable [[The Divine Empire of Solum|Empire]] and [[Southern Union|Union]], with the other leaders during his time doing their best to maintain stability. Carinum had originally wished to expand international cooperation with respect to the institutions of learning and established the first exchange program between the [[Alaphor Conservatory]] and the [[Holy University of Solum]]. == The First Surge == === The 1st Sun, 861 YS === On the morning of the new year, the [[Knights of Chara]] at [[Solum’s Gate]] spotted a large group of aberrations and monsters in the distance approaching the pass. The knight captain, [[Sir Suhelo]], was awoken and he gave orders to ready the knights and soldiers. Wielding the [[Oathkeeper]], Sir Suhelo led the knights in battle against this group of aberrations. They were able to fend off the monster's attack and by the end of the day, the monsters had retreated. Suhelo immediately contacted the Archon to let him know about the situation. Carinum was concerned about the timing of the attack, the monsters striking on the day the Empire was weakest. He ordered an increased contingent of soldiers at Solum’s Gate to fend off any number of approaching creatures. Carinum had read in the old texts of a type of monster that would appear to attack the towns of the Northern Dominion, but never being fully wiped out. Each attack consisted of the majority of monsters killed, however, a few would always retreat before they would be caught. They would return after ten years, stronger and faster. Each time they were beat back, they would return. These monsters nearly destroyed the Dominion and Carinum believed they preceded the string of disasters that ultimately caused its downfall. The strain on the Dominion’s resources left it unable to recover from the other calamities. Ultimately, they trapped the king of these beasts, [[The Lone Tyrant]] they called it, in a mountain, and dropped another mountain atop it. They did not know if they had killed it or simply trapped it. It was also around this time that the Nameless Order began their research into lange distance portals. This is a possible explanation for the origin of the Sun Spear. Carinum noticed similarities with the monsters Suhelo described and the ones he had read about. Concerned about the possibility of them being one and the same, he resolved to be at Solum’s Gate in ten years time, in case they returned on the same schedule as the Scourge of the Dominion. == The Second Surge == === The 1st Sun, 871 YS === Carinum awakened on the morning of the new year to silence. He had rallied over half of the Union’s combined forces and marched them to Solum’s Gate in preparation for another wave of monsters, yet they did not seem to be there. As he prepared to send the troops home, Suhelo burst into his tent. “They are here my lord.” A host of monsters and aberrations appeared in the distance, the very ground rumbling as they approached the camp, but the Union’s might was able to repel the monsters once again. == The Third Surge == === The 1st Sun, 881 YS === Once again, Carinum had brought half the Union’s soldiers to prepare to defend the pass, as he had ten years prior. This time, they were nearly defeated. The monster's numbers had increased again, by more than expected. The horde was growing faster than the ancient texts had indicated. In the heat of the battle, a group of monsters broke the line and fled into the continent. With their great speed, none were able to catch them. They rampaged across the countryside, slaughtering hundreds before coming upon [[Arahall]]. Lady Meria stood in their way, and was able to crush them with the Forge at the cost of her left arm. As the dust cleared across the pass, the people were able to make out a large shape in the distance. The Lone Tyrant had been overseeing the battle. It had grown weak over the centuries trapped under the mountain, but its strength was gathering. Carinum knew that if he could not awaken the Sun Spear before the Tyrant grew too strong, the Gate would fall first, then the South. Time was running out. == The next decades == The next several decades passed as Carinum instituted mandatory military training for every able bodied citizen and called on all the citizens to defend the pass each decade. Meanwhile, he studied the ancient texts and the words of the past Archons, desperately trying to find the secret to unlocking the Sun Spear. But, he had reached the same wall each of his predecessors had reached. None had awakened the artifact, save for Solum himself. With each surge, the numbers grew greater, and each individual grew stronger. It was only a matter of time before they would be overwhelmed. == The Seventh Surge == === The 1st Sun, 921 YS === It was as if the mountains themselves had come to block the pass. An unfathomable number of creatures approached in the distance. Behind them in the clouds stood the Tyrant, watching and waiting for the moment where it would join the fray and annihilate the forces arrayed against it. Against them stood the greatest host assembled in the past millennium anywhere on the contingent. Over three hundred thousand soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder stretching across the mountain pass. A wall made up of flesh and steel, and will and courage. Bristling with the finest weapons of war, swords and lances crafted by the masters of the era. Clad in armour shining in the morning dawn. Leaders from across the continent stood ready, their people behind them. From the Grand Duchess [[Hesperia The Evening Star|Hesperia]] herself, to the [[Supreme Chancellor|Klydain of Aschen]]. Even the President of the Confederacy, [[Panon Uljarin]], was there to lead his people in defending the land they all shared. Only the Oathkeeper was not raised in defiance of these twisted creatures. [[Sir Landus]] was late, a bit hungover, having been at the [[Hall of Pavonis]] the night before he was meant to set out with the rest of the Knights. In front of them all stood the Archon. Carinum was 96 years old at this point in time and still led the Union forces from the front, Sun Spear in hand. It was Carinum who threw the first strike, hurling the blazing spearing straight through the enemy line, cleaving the monster forces in two with a single strike. The silence of anticipation turned to screams. As the armies clashed, the shining became dull, as dirt and blood wetted the steel and gold. Hundreds fell on either side within minutes. The neat lines now jagged across the mountain pass. For a time, it seemed that the Union would once again prevail, giving Carinum another ten years to awaken the spear. He would not be granted the luxury. As he battled in the centre, the eastern forces were faltering. The troops of [[Confederacy of Barnard|Barnard]] were not as well trained as the professional armies of the other nations, their President unequipped to lead such a large force. As his people fell around him, President Panon was struck by panic and was the first to fall. The people of Barnard soon followed him, their poor organization exploited by the creatures who ripped them to pieces. Now cut off from the main army as the Barnard forces routed, the League’s army were also being pushed back. Chancellor Klydain had been given the [[Duskbreaker]] of [[Pavon the Unbreaking|Pavon]] for use in this battle. Shields locked with his countrymen, they held a sturdy shield wall, repelling attacks from the creature's claws and bites alike. But of course like all the other humans, the soldiers of Igeum tire. And tire they did. Once the first faltered, the wall had fallen. Desperate to preserve his own life, Klydain ordered the remains of the soldiers into a circular shield wall, with himself at the centre. Perhaps it was this act of cowardice that caused his demise, or even the will of Pavon himself, but behind the shields of others was not the place of the Duskbreaker. Layers of soldiers were ripped back like opening an onion? leaving the Chancellor at the mercy of the massive claws of a particularly large monster. As impenetrable as the Duskbreaker was, it was a shield, and could not prevent a claw from wrapping around Klydain. He was lifted from the ground and thrown across the ground like one would skip a pebble. The Duskbreaker fell from his hands clattering on the rocks. With the League and Confederacy routed, only the soldiers of Solum and [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia|Monsbergia]] still stood against the endless tide of monsters, the only obstacle preventing the rampaging beasts from tearing down 900 years of civilization. The situation was grim. Carinum, in his old age, was not as powerful as he once was, yet he still stood as the anchor of the Union forces. Searing flame incinerated nearby creatures as their larger counterparts found themselves punctured by the golden lance. With every horror he struck down, it seemed several took its place. Soon, their numbers became overwhelming. One caught the Archon’s leg toppling him to the ground. His armour rang as it hit the rock and dirt beneath. Like calling children to a meal, monsters pounced from all directions, trapping Carinum beneath a writhing pile of carapace and twisted horrors. A light shone out from within. Carinum burst forth calling all the power he could muster out of the artifact to scorch the shell that had been encasing him. His eyes blazed with power. And just as quickly as he had burst out of that pile of creatures, he was met with the Tyrant itself. It seemed to believe the battle had been won and was coming to claim its prize. Facing the great beast alone, Carinum battled valiantly. The great Sun Spear was used to its greatest power since the days of Solum, blasting blinding light and heat, and slashing the outer hide of the Lone Tyrant. It was not enough. Nothing of the earth could put down the Tyrant, only pure starfire. Five times Carinum lept from the earth and pierced the creature, and five times it howled in pain, thrashing its enormous body, but it could not be slain. The toll of exerting so much power made the Archon grow weary, his movements slowing. He stumbled for just a second, and the beast caught him with its massive claw. Carinum was slain, his body broken after so many years of fighting. It seemed that all was lost. With the forces of three of the four major powers defeated, the Grand Duchess Hesperia stood alone. Suddenly, the warhorns sounded in the distance. The sound of thundering hooves and clattering steel approached at great speed. Sir Landus and the Knights of Chara appeared over the horizon, the Oathkeeper raised at the Lone Tyrant, screaming in defiance. With the appearance of the Knights, Hesperia dashed across the battlefield. The Forge and her were one, smashing the monsters back as she cleared a path across the pass. She found the Duskbreaker fallen near the body of the Chancellor. Lifting the two artifacts to the air, she shouted to her comrades and rallied the remaining soldiers to hold. With the Knights behind them, the people were reinvigorated to fight again, fighting side by side with the legendary knights, the Oathkeeper instilling an unbreakable will and courage to fight in each and every one. With the Duskbreaker in one hand and the Forge in the other, Hesperia fought the Tyrant. Each swing of its claw was met with Pavon’s shield, effortlessly deflecting it, and a counter attack with the Forge. Their battle sounded of lightning striking the pass with each blow exchanged. The Forge swung with the might of one hundred thousand people, like a thunderclap with each hit. A never ending barrage of blunt force trauma. The two fought to a standstill, neither tiring. The attacks of the beast could not break the Duskbreaker, while Hesperia could not kill the creature without the Sun Spear. Yet, when Landus rode on, cutting it with the Oathkeeper, it was forced to retreat and bide its time, it would not be able to defeat both artifact holders. Staying risked another thousand years of imprisonment, so the Lone Tyrant left the battle, its minions slaughtered by the remains of the Union forces. Over two hundred thousand soldiers were killed that day. The devastating loss of several leaders of the Nations, especially the Archon, would severely weaken the resolve of the general public. Oathkeeper could not be brought to all the peoples of the land, and the loss of their great leaders was a huge blow to the morale of the Union. After the battle, Hesperia would renounce her titles to live out the rest of her days in solitude. She would occasionally visit the castle to see her family. 04e7a0a8ec6c1d14ca37d64f8ebf0e8914f577d1 504 503 2023-09-10T08:33:20Z HelixOxford 2 /* The next decades */ wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Carinum the Old</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Carinum.png</default> </image> <header>[[Archon of Solum]], [[First of the Union]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 218th Sun, 859 YS - The 1st Sun, 921 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Cainum]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Taurion the Ultimate]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 193rd Sun, 824 YS</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Cyonus]], [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="bn"> <label>Birth Name</label> <default>Carrick</default> </data> <data source="dd"> <label>Deathdate</label> <default>The 1st Sun 921 YS (aged 96)</default> </data> <data source="dp"> <label>Deathplace</label> <default>[[Solum's Gate]], [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>Unnamed Father</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>Unnamed mother</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>Unknown</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> == Early Life == Carrick was born to two scholars who were working at the [[Twin Academies]] at the time.

With the Knights behind them, the people were reinvigorated to fight again, fighting side by side with the legendary knights, the Oathkeeper instilling an unbreakable will and courage to fight in each and every one. With the Duskbreaker in one hand and the Forge in the other, Hesperia fought the Tyrant. Each swing of its claw was met with Pavon’s shield, effortlessly deflecting it, and a counter attack with the Forge. Their battle sounded of lightning striking the pass with each blow exchanged. The Forge swung with the might of one hundred thousand people, like a thunderclap with each hit. A never ending barrage of blunt force trauma. The two fought to a standstill, neither tiring. The attacks of the beast could not break the Duskbreaker, while Hesperia could not kill the creature without the Sun Spear. Yet, when Landus rode on, cutting it with the Oathkeeper, it was forced to retreat and bide its time, it would not be able to defeat both artifact holders. Staying risked another thousand years of imprisonment, so the Lone Tyrant left the battle, its minions slaughtered by the remains of the Union forces. Over two hundred thousand soldiers were killed that day. The devastating loss of several leaders of the Nations, especially the Archon, would severely weaken the resolve of the general public. Oathkeeper could not be brought to all the peoples of the land, and the loss of their great leaders was a huge blow to the morale of the Union. After the battle, Hesperia would renounce her titles to live out the rest of her days in solitude. She would occasionally visit the castle to see her family. 71725a89328c9dafe01dd26322096bcb2c9e35f3 505 504 2023-09-10T08:37:40Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Carinum the Old</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Carinum.png</default> </image> <header>[[Archon of Solum]], [[First of the Union]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 218th Sun, 859 YS - The 1st Sun, 921 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Cainum]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Taurion the Ultimate]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 193rd Sun, 824 YS</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Cyonus]], [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="bn"> <label>Birth Name</label> <default>Carrick</default> </data> <data source="dd"> <label>Deathdate</label> <default>The 1st Sun 921 YS (aged 96)</default> </data> <data source="dp"> <label>Deathplace</label> <default>[[Solum's Gate]], [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>Unnamed Father</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>Unnamed mother</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>Unknown</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> == Early Life == Carrick was born to two scholars who were working at the [[Twin Academies]] at the time. His upbringing involved a strict academic schedule as both his parents wished to see their son exceed them. And exceed them he would. == Coronation == The 21st Archon, Carinum, was crowned on the 218st Sun of the 859th Year of Solum. He was Carrick, a 34 year old historian who had been working in the Scorian Library at the Holy University. Carrick had been particularly interested in the few writings on the [[Northern Dominion]] and had spent most of his career piecing together the story of Solum and the First Five. The first complete chronicle of [[Solum the Neverfading|Solum]]’s life is attributed to Carrick. While Solum’s story shed light on the final days of the Northern Dominion, the mysteries of this vast empire and the reasons for its fall were still shrouded in legend and doubt. After the death of [[Cainum]], the [[Sun Spear]] chose Carrick only 3 days after the [[Archon of Solum|Archon]]’s passing. He was writing the latest chapter of his Chronicle of Solum when the [[Archmagus of Solum]], [[Khalek]] approached him in his study. Knowing now his destiny had changed, Carrick went confidently to the [[Cenotaph of Solum]], a building he had dreamed of entering his whole life. He would spend 6 days in meditation before emerging with his regnal name: Carinum. Carinum would reign over a relatively stable [[The Divine Empire of Solum|Empire]] and [[Southern Union|Union]], with the other leaders during his time doing their best to maintain stability. Carinum had originally wished to expand international cooperation with respect to the institutions of learning and established the first exchange program between the [[Alaphor Conservatory]] and the [[Holy University of Solum]]. == The First Surge == === The 1st Sun, 861 YS === On the morning of the new year, the [[Knights of Chara]] at [[Solum's Gate]] spotted a large group of aberrations and monsters in the distance approaching the pass. The knight captain, [[Sir Suhelo]], was awoken and he gave orders to ready the knights and soldiers. Wielding the [[Oathkeeper]], Sir Suhelo led the knights in battle against this group of aberrations. They were able to fend off the monster's attack and by the end of the day, the monsters had retreated. Suhelo immediately contacted the Archon to let him know about the situation. Carinum was concerned about the timing of the attack, the monsters striking on the day the Empire was weakest. He ordered an increased contingent of soldiers at Solum’s Gate to fend off any number of approaching creatures. Carinum had read in the old texts of a type of monster that would appear to attack the towns of the Northern Dominion, but never being fully wiped out. Each attack consisted of the majority of monsters killed, however, a few would always retreat before they would be caught. They would return after ten years, stronger and faster. Each time they were beat back, they would return. These monsters nearly destroyed the Dominion and Carinum believed they preceded the string of disasters that ultimately caused its downfall. The strain on the Dominion’s resources left it unable to recover from the other calamities. Ultimately, they trapped the king of these beasts, [[The Lone Tyrant]] they called it, in a mountain, and dropped another mountain atop it. They did not know if they had killed it or simply trapped it. It was also around this time that the Nameless Order began their research into lange distance portals. This is a possible explanation for the origin of the Sun Spear. Carinum noticed similarities with the monsters Suhelo described and the ones he had read about. Concerned about the possibility of them being one and the same, he resolved to be at Solum’s Gate in ten years time, in case they returned on the same schedule as the Scourge of the Dominion. == The Second Surge == === The 1st Sun, 871 YS === Carinum awakened on the morning of the new year to silence. He had rallied over half of the Union’s combined forces and marched them to Solum’s Gate in preparation for another wave of monsters, yet they did not seem to be there. As he prepared to send the troops home, Suhelo burst into his tent. “They are here my lord.” A host of monsters and aberrations appeared in the distance, the very ground rumbling as they approached the camp, but the Union’s might was able to repel the monsters once again. == The Third Surge == === The 1st Sun, 881 YS === Once again, Carinum had brought half the Union’s soldiers to prepare to defend the pass, as he had ten years prior. This time, they were nearly defeated. The monster's numbers had increased again, by more than expected. The horde was growing faster than the ancient texts had indicated. In the heat of the battle, a group of monsters broke the line and fled into the continent. With their great speed, none were able to catch them. They rampaged across the countryside, slaughtering hundreds before coming upon [[Arahall]]. Lady Meria stood in their way, and was able to crush them with the Forge at the cost of her left arm. As the dust cleared across the pass, the people were able to make out a large shape in the distance. The Lone Tyrant had been overseeing the battle. It had grown weak over the centuries trapped under the mountain, but its strength was gathering. Carinum knew that if he could not awaken the Sun Spear before the Tyrant grew too strong, the Gate would fall first, then the South. Time was running out. === The next decades === The next several decades passed as Carinum instituted mandatory military training for every able bodied citizen and called on all the citizens to defend the pass each decade. Meanwhile, he studied the ancient texts and the words of the past Archons, desperately trying to find the secret to unlocking the Sun Spear. But, he had reached the same wall each of his predecessors had reached. None had awakened the artifact, save for Solum himself. With each surge, the numbers grew greater, and each individual grew stronger. It was only a matter of time before they would be overwhelmed. == The Seventh Surge and Death == === The 1st Sun, 921 YS === It was as if the mountains themselves had come to block the pass. An unfathomable number of creatures approached in the distance. Behind them in the clouds stood the Tyrant, watching and waiting for the moment where it would join the fray and annihilate the forces arrayed against it. Against them stood the greatest host assembled in the past millennium anywhere on the contingent. Over three hundred thousand soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder stretching across the mountain pass. A wall made up of flesh and steel, and will and courage. Bristling with the finest weapons of war, swords and lances crafted by the masters of the era. Clad in armour shining in the morning dawn. Leaders from across the continent stood ready, their people behind them. From the Grand Duchess [[Hesperia The Evening Star|Hesperia]] herself, to the [[Klydain of Aschen|Supreme Chancellor]]. Even the President of the Confederacy, [[Panon Uljarin]], was there to lead his people in defending the land they all shared. Only the Oathkeeper was not raised in defiance of these twisted creatures. [[Sir Landus]] was late, a bit hungover, having been at the [[Hall of Pavonis]] the night before he was meant to set out with the rest of the Knights. In front of them all stood the Archon. Carinum was 96 years old at this point in time and still led the Union forces from the front, Sun Spear in hand. It was Carinum who threw the first strike, hurling the blazing spearing straight through the enemy line, cleaving the monster forces in two with a single strike. The silence of anticipation turned to screams. As the armies clashed, the shining became dull, as dirt and blood wetted the steel and gold. Hundreds fell on either side within minutes. The neat lines now jagged across the mountain pass. For a time, it seemed that the Union would once again prevail, giving Carinum another ten years to awaken the spear. He would not be granted the luxury. As he battled in the centre, the eastern forces were faltering. The troops of [[Confederacy of Barnard|Barnard]] were not as well trained as the professional armies of the other nations, their President unequipped to lead such a large force. As his people fell around him, President Panon was struck by panic and was the first to fall. The people of Barnard soon followed him, their poor organization exploited by the creatures who ripped them to pieces. Now cut off from the main army as the Barnard forces routed, the League’s army were also being pushed back. Chancellor Klydain had been given the [[Duskbreaker]] of [[Pavon the Unbreaking|Pavon]] for use in this battle. Shields locked with his countrymen, they held a sturdy shield wall, repelling attacks from the creature's claws and bites alike. But of course like all the other humans, the soldiers of Igeum tire. And tire they did. Once the first faltered, the wall had fallen. Desperate to preserve his own life, Klydain ordered the remains of the soldiers into a circular shield wall, with himself at the centre. Perhaps it was this act of cowardice that caused his demise, or even the will of Pavon himself, but behind the shields of others was not the place of the Duskbreaker. Layers of soldiers were ripped back like opening an onion? leaving the Chancellor at the mercy of the massive claws of a particularly large monster. As impenetrable as the Duskbreaker was, it was a shield, and could not prevent a claw from wrapping around Klydain. He was lifted from the ground and thrown across the ground like one would skip a pebble. The Duskbreaker fell from his hands clattering on the rocks. With the League and Confederacy routed, only the soldiers of Solum and [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia|Monsbergia]] still stood against the endless tide of monsters, the only obstacle preventing the rampaging beasts from tearing down 900 years of civilization. The situation was grim. Carinum, in his old age, was not as powerful as he once was, yet he still stood as the anchor of the Union forces. Searing flame incinerated nearby creatures as their larger counterparts found themselves punctured by the golden lance. With every horror he struck down, it seemed several took its place. Soon, their numbers became overwhelming. One caught the Archon’s leg toppling him to the ground. His armour rang as it hit the rock and dirt beneath. Like calling children to a meal, monsters pounced from all directions, trapping Carinum beneath a writhing pile of carapace and twisted horrors. A light shone out from within. Carinum burst forth calling all the power he could muster out of the artifact to scorch the shell that had been encasing him. His eyes blazed with power. And just as quickly as he had burst out of that pile of creatures, he was met with the Tyrant itself. It seemed to believe the battle had been won and was coming to claim its prize. Facing the great beast alone, Carinum battled valiantly. The great Sun Spear was used to its greatest power since the days of Solum, blasting blinding light and heat, and slashing the outer hide of the Lone Tyrant. It was not enough. Nothing of the earth could put down the Tyrant, only pure starfire. Five times Carinum lept from the earth and pierced the creature, and five times it howled in pain, thrashing its enormous body, but it could not be slain. The toll of exerting so much power made the Archon grow weary, his movements slowing. He stumbled for just a second, and the beast caught him with its massive claw. Carinum was slain, his body broken after so many years of fighting. It seemed that all was lost. With the forces of three of the four major powers defeated, the Grand Duchess Hesperia stood alone. Suddenly, the warhorns sounded in the distance. The sound of thundering hooves and clattering steel approached at great speed. Sir Landus and the Knights of Chara appeared over the horizon, the Oathkeeper raised at the Lone Tyrant, screaming in defiance. With the appearance of the Knights, Hesperia dashed across the battlefield. The Forge and her were one, smashing the monsters back as she cleared a path across the pass. She found the Duskbreaker fallen near the body of the Chancellor. Lifting the two artifacts to the air, she shouted to her comrades and rallied the remaining soldiers to hold.

She would occasionally visit the castle to see her family. 901f70b7970c8b9e47b825cef8e5f0236efa5204 File:Carinum.png 6 137 509 2023-09-10T08:36:12Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 Petrion the Flame of the East, the Butcher under the Setting Sun 0 83 353 352 2023-09-10T08:39:57Z HelixOxford 2 /* Coronation and Western Crisis */ wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Petrion the Flame of the East, the Butcher under the Setting Sun</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Petrion.png</default> </image> <header>[[Archon of Solum]], [[First of the Union]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 1st Sun, 644 YS - The 42nd Sun 676 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Solarion the Foolish]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Virion]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 354th Sun, 618 YS</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Pavonis]], [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="bn"> <label>Birth Name</label> <default>Petra</default> </data> <data source="dd"> <label>Deathdate</label> <default>The 42nd Sun 676 YS (aged 57)</default> </data> <data source="dp"> <label>Deathplace</label> <default>[[Solum]], [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>Unnamed Father</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>Unnamed mother</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> Petrion was the 14th [[Archon of Solum]]. She oversaw the [[Revolt of Monsbergia]] just days after her coronation and personally led the armies of [[The Divine Empire of Solum]] during the conflict and was the only survivor of [[The Battle under the Setting Sun]]. == Early Life == Petra was born on The 354 Sun, 618 YS, in [[Pavonis]] just days before the new year. She grew up in her parents hometown for the first 18 years of her life. In 631, her family took a trip to [[Summer Festival]]. From the first moment of seeing the walls, she was enthralled with the great city of [[Solum]], and resolved to one day call it home. After her 18th birthday, Petra travelled to Solum and enrolled in the Military Academy at the [[Holy University of Solum]]. Graduating top of her class, she was selected as a member of the Archon's personal retinue and was assigned to the Northwest quadrant. Now living out her childhood dream, she became well loved amongst her fellow comrades and the people in the community she served. == Coronation and Western Crisis== Just after Petra's 25th birthday, the Archon [[Solarion]] died in a shipwreck in [[Barnard's Bay]]. The Empire waited with bated breath throughout the new year before the [[Sun Spear]] chose Petra on The First Sun of 644. Lord [[Fulbar]] approached her while on she was on patrol. Petra was immediately escorted to the [[Cenotaph of Solum]] where she sat in meditation for 3 days, emerging with her regnal name: Petrion. She would be the 14th Archon. Petrion had inherited an incredibly unstable situation from her predecessor Solarion, with the increasingly powerful western provinces growing unhappy. Coupled with a weak military and general decadence from the prior Archons, Petrion called for a summit with the leaders of the Western Provinces of [[Arahall]] and [[Monsberg]] to attempt to sort out more favourable terms. It was decided that The Lord [[Albor of Monsberg]] and Petrion would meet in [[Alaphor]] for diplomatic talks in 35 days time, on the 36th Sun. However, it was not known to Petrion that Lord Albor had been plotting to overthrow the Archon for generations. [[Monsberg]] had been secretly forging weapons in [[Craeus]] and raising a well trained army. With tensions rising due to Solarion’s unpopular reforms and the general decadence of the Archon in recent years, Monsberg was looking for a spark to ignite their war. == Revolt and Formation of the Grand Duchy of Monsbergia == On the 30th Sun, 664, when Lord Albor was travelling to Alaphor on the supposed diplomatic trip, his caravan was attacked by bandits just north of Pavonis. He was supposedly killed in the attack. As soon as word reached Monsberg, his daughter [[Seris]] was crowned The Lady Seris of Monsberg. She first declared the [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]] with The Lord [[Ceraun of Arahall]]. She declared herself the first [[Grand Duchess of Monsbergia]]. She declares war on [[The Divine Empire of Solum]] and the Archon herself with hopes of realizing her family's dream of an independent Monsberg to stand equal with Solum. It seemed like the Army of Monsbergia appeared out of nowhere to the outside powers, but Arahall had been forging weapons for years and both provinces had been conscripting soldiers for years as well, designating them government miners and labourers. However, when The Lady Seris declared war, twenty thousand heavily armed soldiers marched east. Due to the decadence of the prior Archons, Petrion’s standing army was small and ill-equipped. The primary force were the Archon’s personal retinue of about 500 soldiers charged with guarding the city of Solum and the surrounding countryside and levies in Solum only numbered 1500. Yet, Petrion raised whatever forces she had and took up the Sun Spear for the first time, preparing to march her army to meet the revolt on the field of battle. She sent word to the loyal provinces for levies but the time it would take to muster would take too long. Leaving the Archmagus Lord [[Fulbar]] to rally the rest of the troops, Petrion would undertake the two-week march to [[Chara]] with only 2000 troops to attempt to defend the city. At the same time [[Sir Caroli]], who had also received word that the invasion was incoming. Based on average marching speeds, the army of Monsbergia would arrive at the fortress city of Chara in just over one week. Petrion marched her forces over 80 kilometres per day to reach the city before Lady Seris would. Arriving just hours before, Archon Petrion and Sir Caroli worked together to lay defenses for the city. They were heavily outnumbered, with scouting reports saying they would be outnumbered by at least five to one. == The Siege of Chara == The Army of Monsbergia reached Chara on the 38th Sun, just after Petrion had entered the city and began laying defenses. The attackers quickly set up a camp around the city and prepared for siege. For about two weeks, both sides were quiet. While the defenders dug in, ready to hold the city, Lord Ceraun had fashioned several large siege towers to take the walls. Groups of soldiers climbed inside and began to approach the wall on The 53rd Sun. Without the power of the Archmagus or an awakened Sun Spear, the defenders were unable to deal any significant damage to the siege towers. Five towers hit the walls and attackers spilled onto the walls and engaged in fierce close quarters fighting. Due to the relatively thin walls, the attackers’ number advantage was somewhat mitigated with each wall section acting as its own choke point. However, it was also the thin walls that caused the downfall of the city. As the siege towers provided access to the top of the walls, rams were sent towards the city. Petrion ordered her cavalry to destroy the rams before they could reach the wall. Her force of 300 horse-mounted soldiers rode out with flame in hand to burn the wooden rams. They were able to destroy 4 out 6 rams before they were forced to retreat, suffering over 50% casualties. The first ram was able to easily collapse a small section of wall, killing both Monsberg and Solum forces fighting atop. Lord Ceraun led the charge through the first breach, [[Forge of Adella]] in hand, smashing stone and skull alike. He would meet Sir Caroli in single combat for the first time shortly after crossing into the city. As the weapons of former allies clashed, a second breach was opened allowing Lady Seris to flank the much smaller defending force forcing them into the city. The defenders were pushed back through the city streets, occasionally surrounded and cut off. The fighting was not all easy for the attackers, for every foot of ground given a large cost was paid in blood. Petrion and a dozen of her retinue were able to fend off an incursion of over 50 Monsbergians before exhaustion from use of the Sun Spear forced her to retreat. Ceraun was initially defeated by Caroli in their duel, but before Caroli could land the finishing blow, a siege tower crashed through the wall, throwing rubble and dust and giving Lord Ceraun a chance to escape. Fighting continued into the night as neither side would give in. As well as the defenders were holding, with their losses mounting it became clear that the city was lost. With the majority of the Monsbergian Army within the castle walls, Petrion ordered a retreat through a side gate. As troops fled out of the castle walls, Seris and Ceraun advanced to attempt to cut off the fleeing soldiers. To allow their soldiers time to escape, Petrion lit a massive wall of flame across the city streets, forcing any attackers down a single narrow path. At this point, she was nearly on the verge of death from overexertion. As her vision blurred, she saw Sir Caroli lift the [[Sword of Chara]] to the air and duel both Lord Ceraun and Lady Seris simultaneously. Even though he was the superior single combatant, the attacks from both the Forge and Seris' [[Spear of Seris|spear]] eventually overwhelmed him, but his sacrifice allowed the near catatonic Petrion to escape with just under half her initial troops. With a decisive victory in hand, the captors of Chara would then stay in the city regrouping and calling additional reinforcements before they would attempt a march on Solum itself. In this time, Petrion would return to Solum, where Lord Fulbar had massed every available soldier from the loyal provinces. Fulbar had also personally travelled to [[Scorcross]] to retrieve the [[Staff of Scoria]] from its perch, intending to use it to preserve Solum at any cost. It had not been used since the time of [[Scoria]] herself. By The 68th Sun, Petrion had regained her strength in Solum, her soldiers ready to defend the capital. At the same time, Seris had consolidated her troops in Chara. Lady Seris has hesitant to make the next move, knowing the legends of the of the awesome power of the true Sun Spear, but time was not on Monsbergia’s side. The longer she waited, the more forces Petrion could gather from the loyal provinces and even the [[League of Igeum]] in the south. It would be crucial to strike at the heart of Solum and crush it before it could gather its full might. Thus, Lady Seris and Lord Ceraun marched their army directly to Solum. == The Battle under the Setting Sun == As Seris marched her troops east, Petrion had also gathered her forces and headed west to meet them before they reached the city, believing a repeat of the Siege of Chara would be disastrous. The armies would meet in the grasslands about 200 km west of Solum. The armies met and waited. As the sun set behind Seris’ army, Ceraun on the northern flank would be the first to make a move, ordering his troops to advance and encircle Petrion’s northern flank. Feigning retreat, her northern army fell back, before Fulbar unleashed a lightning storm on the clumped soldiers to devastating effect. Bolt after bolt dropped from the sky deafening soldiers on both sides as soldiers were ignited and melted within their very armor. Still with the numbers advantage, Seris ordered a charge down the hill into Petrion’s main line. The armies clashed, spear shattering on shield, and sword breaking on steel. The melee was fierce with both leaders leading the charge from the frontlines. In the meantime, Fulbar’s lightning had nearly decimated Ceraun’s flank, forcing his retreat and a counter of the flanking maneuver with Fulbar leading the north. The armies now seem evenly matched with neither side giving much ground. As the last rays of light began to sink below the horizon, the forces of Monsbergia began to advance, their superior training and discipline becoming evidence as the battle turned to attrition. Knowing she had no other choice, Petrion gave the order. Lord Fulbar retreated to the backlines and began an incantation. The leaders of Monsbergia saw this and began to aggressively cut down the faltering Solan soldiers trying to reach the now immobile Fulbar. Petrion had to defend her Archmagus at any cost. Abandoning her troops she alone fell back as well, preparing for single combat against the Lady Seris who was cutting down soldiers, beelining for the back ranks. Even as scores of men surrounded her, a single flourish of her spear was it took to surround her with the dead. Ceraun descended from the right, Seris from the left, it was Petrion’s and perhaps the Empire’s last stand. She first charged at Ceraun catching him off guard and piercing his leg as she dodged a downward swing from the Forge. Flame sprung from the Sun Spear, as the combatants could feel the air around them begin to warm. Petrion’s movements became faster, her strikes stronger. Ceraun could not keep up as Seris attempted to get past her and reach Fulbar. Suddenly, the Sun Spear pierced Ceraun’s arm. Petrion kicked the Forge out of his hands, it spun in the air turning back into the craftshammer for a few moments before Petrion leapt over his faltering body and caught it midair. Triggering its transformation as she swung down, she shattered the Spear of Seris with the very tool that created it. Fury blazed into Seris' eyes as she looked up from her weapon, splintered at her feet. She lunged at Petrion with inhuman speed, catching the Archon off guard for a moment and nearly reaching Fulbar with an outstretched gauntlet. Only it was too late. Fulbar’s ritual came to a crescendo then flame spewed out over the battlefield, engulfing both armies in fire and burning the fields for miles around. After casting this [[Scoria's Inferno|Inferno]], the Staff had disappeared, leaving only dancing flames across the battlefield, illuminating the twilight, the cacophony of screams echoing across the great plain. In the end, there were only charred husks and metal in the shape of men. Thus those plains were named the [[Fields of the Final Armours]]. When the fire died down, Petrion was left standing, kept immune from the flames by the sunfire that burned within her. Alone in a field of corpses of her people, Solan and Monsbergian. == Aftermath == With both armies decimated, neither side could afford to fight any further. The Divine Empire of Solum would be joined in the north by the Grand Duchy of Monsbergia, and Grand Duchess [[Dalia of Monsberg|Dalia]], daughter of Lady Seris. The border would be set at Chara acting as a border town to prevent further disputes, and both countries would be charged with the defense of [[Solum’s Gate]]. With the deaths of Lady Seris and Lord Ceraun at the Battle under the Setting Sun, the leadership of their provinces, and the newly established fell to the next in line. The Lady Dalia would inherit the province of Monsberg and her mother's titles, while The Lady [[Amenthis of Arahall|Amenthis]] would become [[The Lady of Arahall]] inheriting the Forge from her father. The Sword of Chara was found still in the fortress by Petrion weeks later. The few soldiers left behind would tell that Seris refused to use her fallen foe’s weapon, regarding the act as dishonourable. The Staff of Scoria is still lost, as later writings would find that Scoria had left a curse on the staff before she passed, causing it to teleport to a random location after every use to prevent others from using her awesome power for too long. The shards of Seris’ spear would be collected by Dalia in the aftermath, and stored in the [[Fortress of Monsberg]]. At the end of her life, she brought them to Arahall and together with Amenthis, she reforged her mother’s spear and it was placed with her body in the Mausoleum of Monsberg. It is still unknown if the death of Lord Albor was truly an unrelated accident as Petrion claimed at the time, or a false flag set up by Albor himself to spark the Revolt. == Later life == Petrion was not a particularly popular Archon after the rebellion, having lost the western provinces, with some seeing her as the continuation of Solarion. Others thought her a butcher, having led over ten thousand soldiers to their deaths during the rebellion. She became known in Monsbergia as the Butcher under the Setting Sun for her actions during that decisive battle. However, there were also those who supported her decisions, deeming her as the Flame of the East, for preserving the capital at any cost. Her actions weighed heavily over her during her reign, but ultimately she saw no other way to preserve the Empire. She would reign for 32 years before passing due to illness at only 57 years old, perhaps punishment for the blood on her hands. dfd3d6d6022e14eed46e3d508f90912e5d98f3a9 Story 0 89 388 387 2023-09-11T05:11:48Z HelixOxford 2 /* Illya's Party */ wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore. A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in [[Toliman]] for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. == The 301st Sun, 1264 YS == Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] == The 308th Sun, 1264 YS == After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkwardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the park around the city walls. === Colt's Party === Colt takes his party to the address he was given on the edge of the Ducal Quarter of Arahall. Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. ---- SOMEHOW THEY DECIDE TO ROB HIM? Someone fill this discussion in please. ---- Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. [[File:Tobiashouselayout.png|200px|thumb|right|Layout of Tobias' house.]] After searching for a couple minutes, they reach the second door within the house. This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. === Illya's Party === Illya's party arrives in Arahall minutes after. Having visited many times during her childhood, she easily navigates her way to the Ducal Quarter. They are met with guards patrolling the park outside the walls. They inquire about an audience with The Lady [[Kellerin the Sailor|Kellerin]]. The guards point them towards the main gate where they ask for a name to be added to the waiting list for The Lady to look over before deciding her schedule for the day. Illya writes only her first name: Illya. As the party awaits news about their audience, Faron climbs a tree. The others enjoy their time in the park. In the tree, Faron observes the guard rotations and notes three towers splitting up the curtain wall. There did not seem to be any clear path into the inner city other the primary gate. Luckily they did not have to find one. After a little while of resting beneath a particularly nice tree, a guard appears and unfurls a scroll: "LADY ILLYA OF MONSBERG, DAUGHTER OF ADRIK OF MONSBERG, YOU WILL BE SEEN NOW. PROCEED" Illya had not accounted that Kellerin would know exactly who she was, given their shared past (oooooh). The guards escort the group towards the audience chambers. As they pass through the main gate, they notice another group on the left. They were standing outside a rather small house: two people with white hair, one hooded, and a turtle. They decided not to call to them, even though they appeared to be the same group from the tavern a while ago. Entering the audience chamber, Kellerin leaps up from her throne and hugs Illya tightly. "Mymy you have grown! You simply do not visit enough How is your father How long -, " The barrage of questions went on, before Illya was able to get a word in. She asked to speak with the Lady privately, so Kellerin led her to the study behind the throne. 1879ee87b5ab758de1b50d136e762ad4702f08ab 389 388 2023-09-11T05:14:45Z HelixOxford 2 /* Illya's Party */ wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore.

Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in [[Toliman]] for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. == The 301st Sun, 1264 YS == Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] == The 308th Sun, 1264 YS == After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkwardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the park around the city walls. === Colt's Party === Colt takes his party to the address he was given on the edge of the Ducal Quarter of Arahall. Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. ---- SOMEHOW THEY DECIDE TO ROB HIM? Someone fill this discussion in please. ---- Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. [[File:Tobiashouselayout.png|200px|thumb|right|Layout of Tobias' house.]] After searching for a couple minutes, they reach the second door within the house. This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. === Illya's Party === Illya's party arrives in Arahall minutes after. Having visited many times during her childhood, she easily navigates her way to the Ducal Quarter. They are met with guards patrolling the park outside the walls. They inquire about an audience with The Lady [[Kellerin the Sailor|Kellerin]]. The guards point them towards the main gate where they ask for a name to be added to the waiting list for The Lady to look over before deciding her schedule for the day. Illya writes only her first name: Illya. As the party awaits news about their audience, Faron climbs a tree. The others enjoy their time in the park. In the tree, Faron observes the guard rotations and notes three towers splitting up the curtain wall. There did not seem to be any clear path into the inner city other the primary gate. Luckily they did not have to find one. After a little while of resting beneath a particularly nice tree, a guard appears and unfurls a scroll: "LADY ILLYA OF MONSBERG, DAUGHTER OF ADRIK OF MONSBERG, YOU WILL BE SEEN NOW. PROCEED" Illya had not accounted that Kellerin would know exactly who she was, given their shared past (oooooh). The guards escort the group towards the audience chambers. As they pass through the main gate, they notice another group on the left. They were standing outside a rather small house: two people with white hair, one hooded, and a turtle. They decided not to call to them, even though they appeared to be the same group from the tavern a while ago. Entering the audience chamber, Kellerin leaps up from her throne and hugs Illya tightly. "Mymy you have grown! You simply do not visit enough How is your father How long -, " The barrage of questions went on, before Illya was able to get a word in. She asked to speak with the Lady privately, so Kellerin led her to the study behind the throne. {{#spoiler:Illya is Kellerin's daughter}} d580111c97e3033e64dda3cc537655d43f8dfda5 390 389 2023-09-11T05:15:25Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore. A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table.

You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. ---- SOMEHOW THEY DECIDE TO ROB HIM? Someone fill this discussion in please. ---- Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. [[File:Tobiashouselayout.png|200px|thumb|right|Layout of Tobias' house.]] After searching for a couple minutes, they reach the second door within the house. This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. === Illya's Party === Illya's party arrives in Arahall minutes after. Having visited many times during her childhood, she easily navigates her way to the Ducal Quarter. They are met with guards patrolling the park outside the walls. They inquire about an audience with The Lady [[Kellerin the Sailor|Kellerin]]. The guards point them towards the main gate where they ask for a name to be added to the waiting list for The Lady to look over before deciding her schedule for the day. Illya writes only her first name: Illya. As the party awaits news about their audience, Faron climbs a tree. The others enjoy their time in the park. In the tree, Faron observes the guard rotations and notes three towers splitting up the curtain wall. There did not seem to be any clear path into the inner city other the primary gate. Luckily they did not have to find one. After a little while of resting beneath a particularly nice tree, a guard appears and unfurls a scroll: "LADY ILLYA OF MONSBERG, DAUGHTER OF ADRIK OF MONSBERG, YOU WILL BE SEEN NOW. PROCEED" Illya had not accounted that Kellerin would know exactly who she was, given their shared past (oooooh). The guards escort the group towards the audience chambers. As they pass through the main gate, they notice another group on the left. They were standing outside a rather small house: two people with white hair, one hooded, and a turtle. They decided not to call to them, even though they appeared to be the same group from the tavern a while ago. Entering the audience chamber, Kellerin leaps up from her throne and hugs Illya tightly. "Mymy you have grown! You simply do not visit enough How is your father How long -, " The barrage of questions went on, before Illya was able to get a word in. She asked to speak with the Lady privately, so Kellerin led her to the study behind the throne. <spoiler show="showMessage" hide="hideMessage">Spoiler Text</spoiler> 095de1f41d093a65b455618d475e646a19c645cc 392 391 2023-09-11T05:18:51Z HelixOxford 2 /* Illya's Party */ wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore. A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in [[Toliman]] for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. == The 301st Sun, 1264 YS == Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] == The 308th Sun, 1264 YS == After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkwardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the park around the city walls. === Colt's Party === Colt takes his party to the address he was given on the edge of the Ducal Quarter of Arahall. Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. ---- SOMEHOW THEY DECIDE TO ROB HIM?

Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in [[Toliman]] for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. == The 301st Sun, 1264 YS == Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] == The 308th Sun, 1264 YS == After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkwardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the park around the city walls. === Colt's Party === Colt takes his party to the address he was given on the edge of the Ducal Quarter of Arahall. Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. ---- SOMEHOW THEY DECIDE TO ROB HIM? Someone fill this discussion in please. ---- Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. [[File:Tobiashouselayout.png|200px|thumb|right|Layout of Tobias' house.]] After searching for a couple minutes, they reach the second door within the house. This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. === Illya's Party === Illya's party arrives in Arahall minutes after. Having visited many times during her childhood, she easily navigates her way to the Ducal Quarter. They are met with guards patrolling the park outside the walls. They inquire about an audience with The Lady [[Kellerin the Sailor|Kellerin]]. The guards point them towards the main gate where they ask for a name to be added to the waiting list for The Lady to look over before deciding her schedule for the day. Illya writes only her first name: Illya. As the party awaits news about their audience, Faron climbs a tree. The others enjoy their time in the park. In the tree, Faron observes the guard rotations and notes three towers splitting up the curtain wall. There did not seem to be any clear path into the inner city other the primary gate. Luckily they did not have to find one. After a little while of resting beneath a particularly nice tree, a guard appears and unfurls a scroll: "LADY ILLYA OF MONSBERG, DAUGHTER OF ADRIK OF MONSBERG, YOU WILL BE SEEN NOW. PROCEED" Illya had not accounted that Kellerin would know exactly who she was, given their shared past (oooooh). The guards escort the group towards the audience chambers. As they pass through the main gate, they notice another group on the left. They were standing outside a rather small house: two people with white hair, one hooded, and a turtle. They decided not to call to them, even though they appeared to be the same group from the tavern a while ago. Entering the audience chamber, Kellerin leaps up from her throne and hugs Illya tightly. "Mymy you have grown! You simply do not visit enough How is your father How long -, " The barrage of questions went on, before Illya was able to get a word in. She asked to speak with the Lady privately, so Kellerin led her to the study behind the throne. <spoiler show="This is a spoiler for Illya's backstory" hide="Hide spoiler">In the study, Illya regales Kellerin with her story. She had run away from the care of her Uncle [[Percival the Guardian|Percival]], since he wanted to marry her off to [[Brannick of Alaphor]] to secure a grain deal with the [[League of Igeum]]. She wishes for asylum in Arahall. Kellerin laughs and tells her of course, "anything to spite old Percy over there!" The only condition is that Illya go to find the royal head chef, [[Tobias]]. He had gone missing in the West Woods a couple days before their arrival, after a wholehearted promise of a mushroom tart for dinner.</spoiler> After Illya exits the study, she tells her party they need to go find a chef whos gone missing in the West Woods. The party agrees to follow her. == Reunion == f0286490b97be9f80885c3073425cbaa8188f9c8 395 394 2023-09-11T06:41:26Z HelixOxford 2 /* Reunion */ wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore. A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly.

Illya decides to follow them at a distance, with Ambrose following closer, miraculously avoiding detection several times. Both parties trek through the dense forest for hours as the sunset crept up on them. After these hours of fruitless searching, Faron decides to attempt to ask the creatures around them for clues. While a spider and a crow fail to provide reliable information, a fox tells of that Tobias had headed past a couple days earlier, but it hadn't seen him since. Furthermore, there were other humanoids in the forest, hooded figures to the northwest. Colt's party was the first to find the cultists. As the golden sunset gave way to the inky blackness of night, a soft purple glow could be seen in the distance. AS both groups approached they saw quite a strange scene. Four hooded cultists stood around a large brazier filled with a odd purple fire, hands raised and chanting a slow chant in perfect harmony. Five other hooded figures stood around, sitting on boxes, perhaps only there for guard duty. Above the flames floated the missing chef, seemingly unconscious, spinning slowly like a rotisserie chicken. As Mikey approaches to get a better look, he steps on a dry branch. In the silence of the night, he may as well have sounded a warhorn. (I feel turtles are not particularly stealthy). The five cultists not currently involved the ritual immediately jump up to attack the party. Roll initiative! The battle begins with Colt's group ahead and Illya's behind having caught up as the combat began. Fill in the fight - lots of entangle - crit bonfire from Phoebe - accurate bow shooting from Ambrose - Big fog from Val - Mikey takes quite a bit of damage - Colt clobbers with his staff - Akou mostly useless if I'm remembering After the initial five cultists are killed, the other four stop their ritual. Tobias is blasted out of the fog into a nearby tree. If he wasn't unconscious before, he is now (oof). Three other cultists are quickly dispatched, but one is able to escape. Akou notices that the cultist grabs a necklace with a black gem as they flee. In this act, they get their inner sleeve caught on a box leaving behind a small piece of red fabric (ooh). Illya stabilizes Tobias, he appears to be totally fine other wise. Strangely upbeat he asks if any of these people are Colt Aschen. Colt approaches and Tobias hands him a notebook before cheerfully walking away into the darkness of the woods. 924bb3e86f226ec89e4e99737e274292017ec7df 396 395 2023-09-11T06:59:11Z HelixOxford 2 /* Reunion */ wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore.

She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. == The 301st Sun, 1264 YS == Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] == The 308th Sun, 1264 YS == After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkwardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the park around the city walls. === Colt's Party === Colt takes his party to the address he was given on the edge of the Ducal Quarter of Arahall. Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. ---- SOMEHOW THEY DECIDE TO ROB HIM? Someone fill this discussion in please. ---- Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. [[File:Tobiashouselayout.png|200px|thumb|right|Layout of Tobias' house.]] After searching for a couple minutes, they reach the second door within the house. This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. === Illya's Party === Illya's party arrives in Arahall minutes after. Having visited many times during her childhood, she easily navigates her way to the Ducal Quarter. They are met with guards patrolling the park outside the walls. They inquire about an audience with The Lady [[Kellerin the Sailor|Kellerin]]. The guards point them towards the main gate where they ask for a name to be added to the waiting list for The Lady to look over before deciding her schedule for the day. Illya writes only her first name: Illya. As the party awaits news about their audience, Faron climbs a tree. The others enjoy their time in the park. In the tree, Faron observes the guard rotations and notes three towers splitting up the curtain wall. There did not seem to be any clear path into the inner city other the primary gate. Luckily they did not have to find one. After a little while of resting beneath a particularly nice tree, a guard appears and unfurls a scroll: "LADY ILLYA OF MONSBERG, DAUGHTER OF ADRIK OF MONSBERG, YOU WILL BE SEEN NOW. PROCEED" Illya had not accounted that Kellerin would know exactly who she was, given their shared past (oooooh). The guards escort the group towards the audience chambers. As they pass through the main gate, they notice another group on the left. They were standing outside a rather small house: two people with white hair, one hooded, and a turtle. They decided not to call to them, even though they appeared to be the same group from the tavern a while ago. Entering the audience chamber, Kellerin leaps up from her throne and hugs Illya tightly. "Mymy you have grown! You simply do not visit enough How is your father How long -, " The barrage of questions went on, before Illya was able to get a word in. She asked to speak with the Lady privately, so Kellerin led her to the study behind the throne. <spoiler show="This is a spoiler for Illya's backstory" hide="Hide spoiler">In the study, Illya regales Kellerin with her story. She had run away from the care of her Uncle [[Percival the Guardian|Percival]], since he wanted to marry her off to [[Brannick of Alaphor]] to secure a grain deal with the [[League of Igeum]]. She wishes for asylum in Arahall. Kellerin laughs and tells her of course, "anything to spite old Percy over there!" The only condition is that Illya go to find the royal head chef, [[Tobias]]. He had gone missing in the West Woods a couple days before their arrival, after a wholehearted promise of a mushroom tart for dinner.</spoiler> After Illya exits the study, she tells her party they need to go find a chef whos gone missing in the West Woods. The party agrees to follow her. === Reunion === As both parties head off into the woods to find Tobias, they meet at the western gate. Colt's party walks past without saying a word (so edgy). Illya decides to follow them at a distance, with Ambrose following closer, miraculously avoiding detection several times. Both parties trek through the dense forest for hours as the sunset crept up on them. After these hours of fruitless searching, Faron decides to attempt to ask the creatures around them for clues. While a spider and a crow fail to provide reliable information, a fox tells of that Tobias had headed past a couple days earlier, but it hadn't seen him since. Furthermore, there were other humanoids in the forest, hooded figures to the northwest. Colt's party was the first to find the cultists. As the golden sunset gave way to the inky blackness of night, a soft purple glow could be seen in the distance. AS both groups approached they saw quite a strange scene. Four hooded cultists stood around a large brazier filled with a odd purple fire, hands raised and chanting a slow chant in perfect harmony. Five other hooded figures stood around, sitting on boxes, perhaps only there for guard duty. Above the flames floated the missing chef, seemingly unconscious, spinning slowly like a rotisserie chicken. As Mikey approaches to get a better look, he steps on a dry branch. In the silence of the night, he may as well have sounded a warhorn. (I feel turtles are not particularly stealthy). The five cultists not currently involved the ritual immediately jump up to attack the party. Roll initiative! [[File:Dropofthevoid.png|thumb|200px|right|Necklace that the cultist took before running.]] The battle begins with Colt's group ahead and Illya's behind having caught up as the combat began. Fill in the fight - lots of entangle - crit bonfire from Phoebe - accurate bow shooting from Ambrose - Big fog from Val - Mikey takes quite a bit of damage - Colt clobbers with his staff - Akou mostly useless if I'm remembering After the initial five cultists are killed, the other four stop their ritual. Tobias is blasted out of the fog into a nearby tree. If he wasn't unconscious before, he is now (oof). Three other cultists are quickly dispatched, but one is able to escape. Akou notices that the cultist grabs a necklace with a black gem as they flee. In this act, they get their inner sleeve caught on a box leaving behind a small piece of red fabric (ooh). Illya stabilizes Tobias, he appears to be totally fine other wise. Strangely upbeat he asks if any of these people are Colt Aschen. Colt approaches and Tobias hands him a notebook before cheerfully walking away into the darkness of the woods. bd1e0e36b270f8b81020eb4a532b8ed647420634 397 396 2023-09-13T07:48:38Z HelixOxford 2 /* Reunion */ wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore. A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in [[Toliman]] for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern.

Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. == The 301st Sun, 1264 YS == Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] == The 308th Sun, 1264 YS == After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkwardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the park around the city walls. === Colt's Party === Colt takes his party to the address he was given on the edge of the Ducal Quarter of Arahall. Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. The party discusses the strange behaviour of the butler. Why was he unaware that his master had to deliver a package? Why was he unfazed by the disappearance of his master for several days? Why hadn't the butler offered to go and get the master himself? Feeling that something sinister was afoot with regards the butler, the party decided to investigate the house to see if the package is being hidden, or if the mysterious butler has anything to hide. Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. [[File:Tobiashouselayout.png|200px|thumb|right|Layout of Tobias' house.]] After searching for a couple minutes, they reach the second door within the house. This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. === Illya's Party === Illya's party arrives in Arahall minutes after. Having visited many times during her childhood, she easily navigates her way to the Ducal Quarter. They are met with guards patrolling the park outside the walls. They inquire about an audience with The Lady [[Kellerin the Sailor|Kellerin]]. The guards point them towards the main gate where they ask for a name to be added to the waiting list for The Lady to look over before deciding her schedule for the day. Illya writes only her first name: Illya. As the party awaits news about their audience, Faron climbs a tree. The others enjoy their time in the park. In the tree, Faron observes the guard rotations and notes three towers splitting up the curtain wall. There did not seem to be any clear path into the inner city other the primary gate. Luckily they did not have to find one. After a little while of resting beneath a particularly nice tree, a guard appears and unfurls a scroll: "LADY ILLYA OF MONSBERG, DAUGHTER OF ADRIK OF MONSBERG, YOU WILL BE SEEN NOW. PROCEED" Illya had not accounted that Kellerin would know exactly who she was, given their shared past (oooooh). The guards escort the group towards the audience chambers. As they pass through the main gate, they notice another group on the left. They were standing outside a rather small house: two people with white hair, one hooded, and a turtle. They decided not to call to them, even though they appeared to be the same group from the tavern a while ago. Entering the audience chamber, Kellerin leaps up from her throne and hugs Illya tightly. "Mymy you have grown! You simply do not visit enough How is your father How long -, " The barrage of questions went on, before Illya was able to get a word in. She asked to speak with the Lady privately, so Kellerin led her to the study behind the throne. <spoiler show="This is a spoiler for Illya's backstory" hide="Hide spoiler">In the study, Illya regales Kellerin with her story. She had run away from the care of her Uncle [[Percival the Guardian|Percival]], since he wanted to marry her off to [[Brannick of Alaphor]] to secure a grain deal with the [[League of Igeum]]. She wishes for asylum in Arahall. Kellerin laughs and tells her of course, "anything to spite old Percy over there!" The only condition is that Illya go to find the royal head chef, [[Tobias]]. He had gone missing in the West Woods a couple days before their arrival, after a wholehearted promise of a mushroom tart for dinner.</spoiler> After Illya exits the study, she tells her party they need to go find a chef whos gone missing in the West Woods. The party agrees to follow her. === Reunion === As both parties head off into the woods to find Tobias, they meet at the western gate. Colt's party walks past without saying a word (so edgy). Illya decides to follow them at a distance, with Ambrose following closer, miraculously avoiding detection several times. Both parties trek through the dense forest for hours as the sunset crept up on them. After these hours of fruitless searching, Faron decides to attempt to ask the creatures around them for clues. While a spider and a crow fail to provide reliable information, a fox tells of that Tobias had headed past a couple days earlier, but it hadn't seen him since. Furthermore, there were other humanoids in the forest, hooded figures to the northwest. Colt's party was the first to find the cultists. As the golden sunset gave way to the inky blackness of night, a soft purple glow could be seen in the distance. AS both groups approached they saw quite a strange scene. Four hooded cultists stood around a large brazier filled with a odd purple fire, hands raised and chanting a slow chant in perfect harmony. Five other hooded figures stood around, sitting on boxes, perhaps only there for guard duty. Above the flames floated the missing chef, seemingly unconscious, spinning slowly like a rotisserie chicken. As Mikey approaches to get a better look, he steps on a dry branch. In the silence of the night, he may as well have sounded a warhorn. (I feel turtles are not particularly stealthy). The five cultists not currently involved the ritual immediately jump up to attack the party. Roll initiative! [[File:Dropofthevoid.png|thumb|200px|right|Necklace that the cultist took before running.]] The battle begins with Colt's group ahead and Illya's behind having caught up as the combat began. Fill in the fight - lots of entangle - crit bonfire from Phoebe - accurate bow shooting from Ambrose - Big fog from Val - Mikey takes quite a bit of damage, immediately throws his trident into a tree - Colt clobbers with his staff - Akou mostly useless if I'm remembering After the initial five cultists are killed, the other four stop their ritual. Tobias is blasted out of the fog into a nearby tree. If he wasn't unconscious before, he is now (oof). Three other cultists are quickly dispatched, but one is able to escape. Akou notices that the cultist grabs a necklace with a black gem as they flee. In this act, they get their inner sleeve caught on a box leaving behind a small piece of red fabric (ooh). Illya stabilizes Tobias, he appears to be totally fine other wise. Strangely upbeat he asks if any of these people are Colt Aschen. Colt approaches and Tobias hands him a notebook before cheerfully walking away into the darkness of the woods. d7bab6b888d5fd69eb59c1d85a6ce4c3be57025d 399 398 2023-09-15T21:08:45Z 2604:3D09:E7E:B0B0:1D0A:DC57:76B:4C6F 0 /* Colt's Party */ wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore. A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in [[Toliman]] for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern.

As a child, he was quite strong, both terms of physicality and his brash personality. He was the family's first son and thus the heir-apparent to his father's titles from birth. This birthright resulted in a man who would never falter in the face of any adversity. As quoted by [[Eridanion the Scholar|Eridanion]], he was "the bravest man I'd ever met. He would never back down from any challenge." He had one brother, [[Adrik of Monsberg|Adrik]]. The boys grew up together in [[Monsberg Castle]], and were frequently seen running through the halls, or play-fighting in the courtyard. Their father instilled in them a great sense of pride for their homeland, and to value the preservation of [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia|Monsbergia]] above all else. When he was of age, Percival attended the [[Holy University of Solum]], studying warcraft and battlefield command. During their time in Solum, he and his brother would become great friends with other influential figures, including Eridanion, [[Kellerin the Sailor]], and [[Arivan]]. == Tenure at Solum's Gate == After his graduation from the University, Percival was assigned a post at [[Solum's Gate]] as Lord-Protector. While the longer tenured troops stationed questioned his inexperience, he quickly earned their respect as a worthy leader. Over his years as Lord-Protector, he built a reputation for vigilantly protecting the small northern villages from raids from the mountain wildlings. On one such occasion, his party was attacked by a large band of wildlings while patrolling through the village of [[Valles]]. It is said that he singlehandedly fought off twenty of them on his own, earning him his epithet "the Guardian." The people around the region and eventually the whole of Monsberg would begin keeping replicas of his shield as a symbol of protection. == Coronations == With the death of his father in 1242 YS, Percival ascended the throne of Monsberg, coronated on the 73rd Sun 1242 YS. His brother would be granted his post at Solum's Gate. Less than a year later the Grand Duke [[Florian of Arahall|Florian]] passed away of old age, and the title of Grand Duke of Monsbergia would also fall to Percival. cab4104adcae5bde1930471c141c555d72ba8115 182 181 2023-09-16T06:46:09Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Percival the Guardian</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Percival.png</default> </image> <header>[[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]], [[Second of the Union]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 263rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Florian of Arahall]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header>[[The Lord of Monsberg]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Alexandar of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header>[[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 350th Sun, 1227 YS - The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 68th Sun, 1207 YS</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dd"> <label>Deathdate</label> <default>The 329th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="dp"> <label>Deathplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>[[Alexander of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>[[Cecilia of Scorcross]]</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> Percival the Guardian was a Monsbergian statesman and military leader who served as both the [[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]] and later as [[The Lord of Monsberg]] and the [[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]] until his disappearance in late 1264. == Early Life and Education == Percival was born on the 68th Sun of 1204 YS to [[Alexander of Monsberg]] and [[Cecilia of Scorcross]].

It is said that he singlehandedly fought off twenty of them on his own, earning him his epithet "the Guardian." The people around the region and eventually the whole of Monsberg would begin keeping replicas of his shield as a symbol of protection. With the news of his mighty deeds spread across the [[Southern Union]], Percival secretly hoped that he would be granted an artifact of his own, to preserve his legacy and become a symbol of his lineage. This hope would later turn into disappointment and bitterness as his request was ridiculed by the [[Council of Five|Council]] members and the Archmagus [[Yuvira]]. Though Eridanion held to power to overrule the Council and grant his wish, the Archon did not. While at the time Percival did not hold him accountable for his failure, later in life Percival would come to see this as a betrayal of their friendship, thus planting the seeds for the end of their friendship. == Coronations and reign == With the death of his father in 1242 YS, Percival ascended the throne of Monsberg, coronated on The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS. His brother would be granted his post at Solum's Gate. Less than a year later the Grand Duke [[Florian of Arahall|Florian]] passed away of old age, and the title of Grand Duke of Monsbergia would also fall to Percival. Percival ruled fairly over his subjects and was well-liked amongst his people, making regular public appearances. He would host various festivals and fairs on the Monsberg Castle grounds, bridging the gap between himself and the people. For the early part of his reign, Percival's with Eridanion would grow into a fruitful partnership between Monsbergia and [[The Divine Empire of Solum|Solum]], with many trade agreements and treaties signed over drinks between old friends. Only later in life did Percival grow cold towards his former friend. == Personal life == Percival never married nor did he have children. It is suspected that the reason for this was that he was madly in love with Kellerin, ever since their university days. While Kellerin was friends with both brothers, she would fall for Adrik and the two were in a relationship for several years after university, only ending when their respective duties grew too much for handle. In 1239 YS, Adrik came to Percival with a child he had concieved out of wedlock. Percival helped his brother convince their father to raise the child as a member of the royal family, even as Adrik hid the name of the mother of the child from him and Alexandar. After Adrik was stationed to Solum's Gate, Percival would raise [[Illya]] as his own during the long days that Adrik could not. Throughout his life, he held a deep rooted nationalistic zeal for his country. Over the years, as his relationship with Eridanion and the other nations soured, his love for Monsberg never wavered. Towards the end of his life, he grew weary of the restrictions imposed by the Archon and the Council, but without the power to fight on his own, he had to bide his time. This search to the power to impose his own will on the Union led him to obtain a [[Drop of the Void]]. == Death (Murder?) == During the night of 329th Sun, 1264 YS, Percival was awakened by his guards, telling him that Illya had returned with a posse of strange characters. Upset to awoken, he dressed and went to throne room to receive the guests, only to be met with six people who were not Illya. These people (the party) petitioned him for answers regarding a scrap of red Monsbergian fabric and the crest of a royal guard they had found in the belongings of some cultists. Percival feigned ignorance, telling them the cultists must have stolen it and the crest. During this conversation, [[Akou]] is able to sneak up behind the Duke and suddenly stabs him with a rapier, clean through the throat and breaking the chain of his necklace. Choking on his own blood and dying, Percival crushes the Drop of the Void, desperately attempting to preserve his life. However, the transformation is unstable as he was dying when in occured. The blackhole would gradually tear apart his new body, destroying it. This process was expedited by his own niece, blasting him with Guiding Bolts, and her newfound friends. As the blackhole sucked in the last of his Avatar, a bright life pierced the ceiling of the throne room. When the party recovered their sight, they were left in a room full of rubble and fallen pillars, and no sign of the Duke. fbc867ccb124374743f7cfdbd5bd127cb6d2cd53 183 182 2023-09-16T06:46:34Z HelixOxford 2 /* Death (Murder?) */ wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Percival the Guardian</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Percival.png</default> </image> <header>[[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]], [[Second of the Union]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 263rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Florian of Arahall]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header>[[The Lord of Monsberg]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Alexandar of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header>[[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 350th Sun, 1227 YS - The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 68th Sun, 1207 YS</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dd"> <label>Deathdate</label> <default>The 329th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="dp"> <label>Deathplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>[[Alexander of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>[[Cecilia of Scorcross]]</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> Percival the Guardian was a Monsbergian statesman and military leader who served as both the [[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]] and later as [[The Lord of Monsberg]] and the [[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]] until his disappearance in late 1264. == Early Life and Education == Percival was born on the 68th Sun of 1204 YS to [[Alexander of Monsberg]] and [[Cecilia of Scorcross]]. As a child, he was quite strong, both terms of physicality and his brash personality. He was the family's first son and thus the heir-apparent to his father's titles from birth. This birthright resulted in a man who would never falter in the face of any adversity. As quoted by [[Eridanion the Scholar|Eridanion]], he was "the bravest man I'd ever met. He would never back down from any challenge." He had one brother, [[Adrik of Monsberg|Adrik]]. The boys grew up together in [[Monsberg Castle]], and were frequently seen running through the halls, or play-fighting in the courtyard. Their father instilled in them a great sense of pride for their homeland, and to value the preservation of [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia|Monsbergia]] above all else. When he was of age, Percival attended the [[Holy University of Solum]], studying warcraft and battlefield command. During their time in Solum, he and his brother would become great friends with other influential figures, including Eridanion, [[Kellerin the Sailor]], and [[Arivan]]. == Tenure at Solum's Gate == After his graduation from the University, Percival was assigned a post at [[Solum's Gate]] as Lord-Protector. While the longer tenured troops stationed questioned his inexperience, he quickly earned their respect as a worthy leader. Over his years as Lord-Protector, he built a reputation for vigilantly protecting the small northern villages from raids from the mountain wildlings. On one such occasion, his party was attacked by a large band of wildlings while patrolling through the village of [[Valles]]. It is said that he singlehandedly fought off twenty of them on his own, earning him his epithet "the Guardian." The people around the region and eventually the whole of Monsberg would begin keeping replicas of his shield as a symbol of protection. With the news of his mighty deeds spread across the [[Southern Union]], Percival secretly hoped that he would be granted an artifact of his own, to preserve his legacy and become a symbol of his lineage. This hope would later turn into disappointment and bitterness as his request was ridiculed by the [[Council of Five|Council]] members and the Archmagus [[Yuvira]]. Though Eridanion held to power to overrule the Council and grant his wish, the Archon did not. While at the time Percival did not hold him accountable for his failure, later in life Percival would come to see this as a betrayal of their friendship, thus planting the seeds for the end of their friendship. == Coronations and reign == With the death of his father in 1242 YS, Percival ascended the throne of Monsberg, coronated on The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS. His brother would be granted his post at Solum's Gate. Less than a year later the Grand Duke [[Florian of Arahall|Florian]] passed away of old age, and the title of Grand Duke of Monsbergia would also fall to Percival. Percival ruled fairly over his subjects and was well-liked amongst his people, making regular public appearances. He would host various festivals and fairs on the Monsberg Castle grounds, bridging the gap between himself and the people. For the early part of his reign, Percival's with Eridanion would grow into a fruitful partnership between Monsbergia and [[The Divine Empire of Solum|Solum]], with many trade agreements and treaties signed over drinks between old friends. Only later in life did Percival grow cold towards his former friend. == Personal life == Percival never married nor did he have children. It is suspected that the reason for this was that he was madly in love with Kellerin, ever since their university days.

As a child, he was quite strong, both terms of physicality and his brash personality. He was the family's first son and thus the heir-apparent to his father's titles from birth. This birthright resulted in a man who would never falter in the face of any adversity. As quoted by [[Eridanion the Scholar|Eridanion]], he was "the bravest man I'd ever met. He would never back down from any challenge." He had one brother, [[Adrik of Monsberg|Adrik]]. The boys grew up together in [[Monsberg Castle]], and were frequently seen running through the halls, or play-fighting in the courtyard. Their father instilled in them a great sense of pride for their homeland, and to value the preservation of [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia|Monsbergia]] above all else. When he was of age, Percival attended the [[Holy University of Solum]], studying warcraft and battlefield command. During their time in Solum, he and his brother would become great friends with other influential figures, including Eridanion, [[Kellerin the Sailor]], and [[Arivan]]. == Tenure at Solum's Gate == After his graduation from the University, Percival was assigned a post at [[Solum's Gate]] as Lord-Protector. While the longer tenured troops stationed questioned his inexperience, he quickly earned their respect as a worthy leader. Over his years as Lord-Protector, he built a reputation for vigilantly protecting the small northern villages from raids from the mountain wildlings. On one such occasion, his party was attacked by a large band of wildlings while patrolling through the village of [[Valles]]. It is said that he singlehandedly fought off twenty of them on his own, earning him his epithet "the Guardian." The people around the region and eventually the whole of Monsberg would begin keeping replicas of his shield as a symbol of protection. With the news of his mighty deeds spread across the [[Southern Union]], Percival secretly hoped that he would be granted an artifact of his own, to preserve his legacy and become a symbol of his lineage. This hope would later turn into disappointment and bitterness as his request was ridiculed by the [[Council of Five|Council]] members and the Archmagus [[Yuvira]]. Though Eridanion held to power to overrule the Council and grant his wish, the Archon did not. While at the time Percival did not hold him accountable for his failure, later in life Percival would come to see this as a betrayal of their friendship, thus planting the seeds for the end of their friendship. == Coronations and reign == With the death of his father in 1242 YS, Percival ascended the throne of Monsberg, coronated on The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS. His brother would be granted his post at Solum's Gate. Less than a year later the Grand Duke [[Florian of Arahall|Florian]] passed away of old age, and the title of Grand Duke of Monsbergia would also fall to Percival. Percival ruled fairly over his subjects and was well-liked amongst his people, making regular public appearances. He would host various festivals and fairs on the Monsberg Castle grounds, bridging the gap between himself and the people. For the early part of his reign, Percival's with Eridanion would grow into a fruitful partnership between Monsbergia and [[The Divine Empire of Solum|Solum]], with many trade agreements and treaties signed over drinks between old friends. Only later in life did Percival grow cold towards his former friend. == Personal life == Percival never married nor did he have children. It is suspected that the reason for this was that he was madly in love with Kellerin, ever since their university days. While Kellerin was friends with both brothers, she would fall for Adrik and the two were in a relationship for several years after university, only ending when their respective duties grew too much for handle. In 1239 YS, Adrik came to Percival with a child he had concieved out of wedlock. Percival helped his brother convince their father to raise the child as a member of the royal family, even as Adrik hid the name of the mother of the child from him and Alexandar. After Adrik was stationed to Solum's Gate, Percival would raise [[Illya]] as his own during the long days that Adrik could not. Throughout his life, he held a deep rooted nationalistic zeal for his country. Over the years, as his relationship with Eridanion and the other nations soured, his love for Monsberg never wavered. Towards the end of his life, he grew weary of the restrictions imposed by the Archon and the Council, but without the power to fight on his own, he had to bide his time. This search to the power to impose his own will on the Union led him to obtain a [[Drop of the Void]]. == Death/Disappearnce == During the night of 329th Sun, 1264 YS, Percival was awakened by his guards, telling him that Illya had returned with a group of strange characters. Upset to awoken, he dressed and went to throne room to receive the guests, only to be met with six people who were not Illya. These people (the party) petitioned him for answers regarding a scrap of red Monsbergian fabric and the crest of a royal guard they had found in the belongings of some cultists. Percival feigned ignorance, telling them the cultists must have stolen it and the crest. During this conversation, [[Akou]] is able to sneak up behind the Duke and suddenly stabs him with a rapier, clean through the throat and breaking the chain of his necklace. Choking on his own blood and dying, Percival crushes the Drop of the Void, desperately attempting to preserve his life. However, the transformation into an [[Avatar of the Void]] is unstable as he was dying when in occured. The blackhole would gradually tear apart his new body, destroying it. This process was expedited by his own niece, blasting him with Guiding Bolts, and her newfound friends. As the blackhole sucked in the last of his Avatar, a bright life pierced the ceiling of the throne room. When the party recovered their sight, they were left in a room full of rubble and fallen pillars, and no sign of the Duke. a6b23b669ac979ea18d8293025d4502054fc93e4 187 186 2023-09-16T07:22:19Z HelixOxford 2 /* Early Life and Education */ wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Percival the Guardian</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Percival.png</default> </image> <header>[[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]], [[Second of the Union]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 263rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Florian of Arahall]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Kellerin of Arahall]]</default> </data> <header>[[The Lord of Monsberg]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Alexandar of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header>[[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 350th Sun, 1227 YS - The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 68th Sun, 1207 YS</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dd"> <label>Deathdate</label> <default>The 329th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="dp"> <label>Deathplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>[[Alexander of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>[[Cecilia of Scorcross]]</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> Percival the Guardian was a Monsbergian statesman and military leader who served as both the [[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]] and later as [[The Lord of Monsberg]] and the [[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]] until his death/disappearance in late 1264. == Early Life and Education == Percival was born on the 68th Sun of 1204 YS to [[Alexander of Monsberg]] and [[Cecilia of Scorcross]].

As a child, he was quite strong, both terms of physicality and his brash personality. He was the family's first son and thus the heir-apparent to his father's titles from birth. This birthright resulted in a man who would never falter in the face of any adversity. As quoted by [[Eridanion the Scholar|Eridanion]], he was "the bravest man I'd ever met. He would never back down from any challenge." He had one brother, [[Adrik of Monsberg|Adrik]]. The boys grew up together in [[Monsberg Castle]], and were frequently seen running through the halls, or play-fighting in the courtyard. Their father instilled in them a great sense of pride for their homeland, and to value the preservation of [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia|Monsbergia]] above all else. When he was of age, Percival attended the [[Holy University of Solum]] starting in 1225, studying warcraft and battlefield command. During their time in Solum, he and his brother would become great friends with other influential figures, including Eridanion, [[Kellerin the Sailor]], and [[Arivan]]. == Tenure at Solum's Gate == After his graduation from the University, Percival was assigned a post at [[Solum's Gate]] as Lord-Protector. While the longer tenured troops stationed questioned his inexperience, he quickly earned their respect as a worthy leader. Over his years as Lord-Protector, he built a reputation for vigilantly protecting the small northern villages from raids from the mountain wildlings. On one such occasion, his party was attacked by a large band of wildlings while patrolling through the village of [[Valles]]. It is said that he singlehandedly fought off twenty of them on his own, earning him his epithet "the Guardian." The people around the region and eventually the whole of Monsberg would begin keeping replicas of his shield as a symbol of protection. With the news of his mighty deeds spread across the [[Southern Union]], Percival secretly hoped that he would be granted an artifact of his own, to preserve his legacy and become a symbol of his lineage. This hope would later turn into disappointment and bitterness as his request was ridiculed by the [[Council of Five|Council]] members and the Archmagus [[Yuvira]]. Though Eridanion held to power to overrule the Council and grant his wish, the Archon did not. While at the time Percival did not hold him accountable for his failure, later in life Percival would come to see this as a betrayal of their friendship, thus planting the seeds for the end of their friendship. == Coronations and reign == With the death of his father in 1242 YS, Percival ascended the throne of Monsberg, coronated on The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS. His brother would be granted his post at Solum's Gate. Less than a year later the Grand Duke [[Florian of Arahall|Florian]] passed away of old age, and the title of Grand Duke of Monsbergia would also fall to Percival. Percival ruled fairly over his subjects and was well-liked amongst his people, making regular public appearances. He would host various festivals and fairs on the Monsberg Castle grounds, bridging the gap between himself and the people. For the early part of his reign, Percival's with Eridanion would grow into a fruitful partnership between Monsbergia and [[The Divine Empire of Solum|Solum]], with many trade agreements and treaties signed over drinks between old friends. Only later in life did Percival grow cold towards his former friend. == Personal life == Percival never married nor did he have children. It is suspected that the reason for this was that he was madly in love with Kellerin, ever since their university days. While Kellerin was friends with both brothers, she would fall for Adrik and the two were in a relationship for several years after university, only ending when their respective duties grew too much for handle. In 1239 YS, Adrik came to Percival with a child he had concieved out of wedlock. Percival helped his brother convince their father to raise the child as a member of the royal family, even as Adrik hid the name of the mother of the child from him and Alexandar. After Adrik was stationed to Solum's Gate, Percival would raise [[Illya]] as his own during the long days that Adrik could not. Throughout his life, he held a deep rooted nationalistic zeal for his country. Over the years, as his relationship with Eridanion and the other nations soured, his love for Monsberg never wavered. Towards the end of his life, he grew weary of the restrictions imposed by the Archon and the Council, but without the power to fight on his own, he had to bide his time. This search to the power to impose his own will on the Union led him to obtain a [[Drop of the Void]]. == Death/Disappearnce == During the night of 329th Sun, 1264 YS, Percival was awakened by his guards, telling him that Illya had returned with a group of strange characters. Upset to awoken, he dressed and went to throne room to receive the guests, only to be met with six people who were not Illya. These people (the party) petitioned him for answers regarding a scrap of red Monsbergian fabric and the crest of a royal guard they had found in the belongings of some cultists. Percival feigned ignorance, telling them the cultists must have stolen it and the crest. During this conversation, [[Akou]] is able to sneak up behind the Duke and suddenly stabs him with a rapier, clean through the throat and breaking the chain of his necklace. Choking on his own blood and dying, Percival crushes the Drop of the Void, desperately attempting to preserve his life. However, the transformation into an [[Avatar of the Void]] is unstable as he was dying when in occured. The blackhole would gradually tear apart his new body, destroying it. This process was expedited by his own niece, blasting him with Guiding Bolts, and her newfound friends. As the blackhole sucked in the last of his Avatar, a bright life pierced the ceiling of the throne room. When the party recovered their sight, they were left in a room full of rubble and fallen pillars, and no sign of the Duke. 73dc4a984f037e4258503ae76551cde40fe75019 190 189 2023-09-16T07:43:40Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Percival the Guardian</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Percival.png</default> </image> <header>[[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]], [[Second of the Union]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 263rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Florian of Arahall]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Kellerin the Sailor]]</default> </data> <header>[[The Lord of Monsberg]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Alexandar of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header>[[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 350th Sun, 1229 YS - The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 68th Sun, 1207 YS</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dd"> <label>Deathdate</label> <default>The 329th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="dp"> <label>Deathplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>[[Alexander of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>[[Cecilia of Scorcross]]</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> Percival the Guardian was a Monsbergian statesman and military leader who served as both the [[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]] and later as [[The Lord of Monsberg]] and the [[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]] until his death/disappearance in late 1264. == Early Life and Education == Percival was born on The 68th Sun of 1204 YS to [[Alexander of Monsberg]] and [[Cecilia of Scorcross]].

Over his years as Lord-Protector, he built a reputation for vigilantly protecting the small northern villages from raids from the mountain wildlings. On one such occasion, his party was attacked by a large band of wildlings while patrolling through the village of [[Valles]]. It is said that he singlehandedly fought off twenty of them on his own, earning him his epithet "the Guardian." The people around the region and eventually the whole of Monsberg would begin keeping replicas of his shield as a symbol of protection. With the news of his mighty deeds spread across the [[Southern Union]], Percival secretly hoped that he would be granted an artifact of his own, to preserve his legacy and become a symbol of his lineage. This hope would later turn into disappointment and bitterness as his request was ridiculed by the [[Council of Five|Council]] members and the Archmagus [[Yuvira]]. Though Eridanion held to power to overrule the Council and grant his wish, the Archon did not. While at the time Percival did not hold him accountable for his failure, later in life Percival would come to see this as a betrayal of their friendship, thus planting the seeds for the end of their friendship. == Coronations and reign == With the death of his father in 1242 YS, Percival ascended the throne of Monsberg, coronated on The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS. His brother would be granted his post at Solum's Gate. Less than a year later the Grand Duke [[Florian of Arahall|Florian]] passed away of old age, and the title of Grand Duke of Monsbergia would also fall to Percival. Percival ruled fairly over his subjects and was well-liked amongst his people, making regular public appearances. He would host various festivals and fairs on the Monsberg Castle grounds, bridging the gap between himself and the people. For the early part of his reign, Percival's with Eridanion would grow into a fruitful partnership between Monsbergia and [[The Divine Empire of Solum|Solum]], with many trade agreements and treaties signed over drinks between old friends. Only later in life did Percival grow cold towards his former friend. == Personal life == Percival never married nor did he have children. It is suspected that the reason for this was that he was madly in love with Kellerin, ever since their university days. While Kellerin was friends with both brothers, she would fall for Adrik and the two were in a relationship for several years after university, only ending when their respective duties grew too much for handle. In early 1239, Adrik came to Percival with a child he had concieved out of wedlock. Percival helped his brother convince their father to raise the child as a member of the royal family, even as Adrik hid the name of the mother of the child from him and Alexandar. After Adrik was stationed to Solum's Gate, Percival would raise [[Illya]] as his own during the long days that Adrik could not. Throughout his life, he held a deep rooted nationalistic zeal for his country. Over the years, as his relationship with Eridanion and the other nations soured, his love for Monsberg never wavered. Towards the end of his life, he grew weary of the restrictions imposed by the Archon and the Council, but without the power to fight on his own, he had to bide his time. This search to the power to impose his own will on the Union led him to obtain a [[Drop of the Void]]. == Death/Disappearnce == During the night of 329th Sun, 1264 YS, Percival was awakened by his guards, telling him that Illya had returned with a group of strange characters. Upset to awoken, he dressed and went to throne room to receive the guests, only to be met with six people who were not Illya. These people (the party) petitioned him for answers regarding a scrap of red Monsbergian fabric and the crest of a royal guard they had found in the belongings of some cultists. Percival feigned ignorance, telling them the cultists must have stolen it and the crest. During this conversation, [[Akou]] is able to sneak up behind the Duke and suddenly stabs him with a rapier, clean through the throat and breaking the chain of his necklace. Choking on his own blood and dying, Percival crushes the Drop of the Void, desperately attempting to preserve his life. However, the transformation into an [[Avatar of the Void]] is unstable as he was dying when in occured. The blackhole would gradually tear apart his new body, destroying it. This process was expedited by his own niece, blasting him with Guiding Bolts, and her newfound friends. As the blackhole sucked in the last of his Avatar, a bright life pierced the ceiling of the throne room. When the party recovered their sight, they were left in a room full of rubble and fallen pillars, and no sign of the Duke. 9f7113f1131ba250be1e01238973d06238f72ce2 193 192 2023-09-17T08:10:17Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Percival the Guardian</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Percival.png</default> </image> <header>[[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]], [[Second of the Union]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 263rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Florian of Arahall]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Kellerin the Sailor]]</default> </data> <header>[[The Lord of Monsberg]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Alexandar of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header>[[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 350th Sun, 1229 YS - The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 68th Sun, 1207 YS</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dd"> <label>Deathdate</label> <default>The 329th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="dp"> <label>Deathplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>[[Alexandar of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>[[Cecilia of Scorcross]]</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> Percival the Guardian was a Monsbergian statesman and military leader who served as both the [[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]] and later as [[The Lord of Monsberg]] and the [[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]] until his death/disappearance in late 1264. == Early Life and Education == Percival was born on The 68th Sun of 1204 YS to [[Alexandar of Monsberg]] and [[Cecilia of Scorcross]]. As a child, he was quite strong, both terms of physicality and his brash personality. He was the family's first son and thus the heir-apparent to his father's titles from birth. This birthright resulted in a man who would never falter in the face of any adversity. As quoted by [[Eridanion the Scholar|Eridanion]], he was "the bravest man I'd ever met. He would never back down from any challenge." He had one brother, [[Adrik of Monsberg|Adrik]]. The boys grew up together in [[Monsberg Castle]], and were frequently seen running through the halls, or play-fighting in the courtyard. Their father instilled in them a great sense of pride for their homeland, and to value the preservation of [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia|Monsbergia]] above all else. When he was of age, Percival attended the [[Holy University of Solum]] starting in 1225, studying warcraft and battlefield command. During their time in Solum, he and his brother would become great friends with other influential figures, including Eridanion, [[Kellerin the Sailor]], and [[Arivan]]. == Tenure at Solum's Gate == After his graduation from the University, Percival was assigned a post at [[Solum's Gate]] as Lord-Protector.

Listen to his theme below: <spotify width="300" height="200" frameborder="0">track/2cv7UmHKEGwHHbVe3UKbTE?utm_source=generator&theme=0</spotify> == Early Life and Education == Percival was born on The 68th Sun of 1204 YS to [[Alexandar of Monsberg]] and [[Cecilia of Scorcross]]. As a child, he was quite strong, both terms of physicality and his brash personality. He was the family's first son and thus the heir-apparent to his father's titles from birth. This birthright resulted in a man who would never falter in the face of any adversity. As quoted by [[Eridanion the Scholar|Eridanion]], he was "the bravest man I'd ever met. He would never back down from any challenge." He had one brother, [[Adrik of Monsberg|Adrik]]. The boys grew up together in [[Monsberg Castle]], and were frequently seen running through the halls, or play-fighting in the courtyard. Their father instilled in them a great sense of pride for their homeland, and to value the preservation of [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia|Monsbergia]] above all else. When he was of age, Percival attended the [[Holy University of Solum]] starting in 1225, studying warcraft and battlefield command. During their time in Solum, he and his brother would become great friends with other influential figures, including Eridanion, [[Kellerin the Sailor]], and [[Arivan]]. == Tenure at Solum's Gate == After his graduation from the University, Percival was assigned a post at [[Solum's Gate]] as Lord-Protector. While the longer tenured troops stationed questioned his inexperience, he quickly earned their respect as a worthy leader. Over his years as Lord-Protector, he built a reputation for vigilantly protecting the small northern villages from raids from the mountain wildlings. On one such occasion, his party was attacked by a large band of wildlings while patrolling through the village of [[Valles]]. It is said that he singlehandedly fought off twenty of them on his own, earning him his epithet "the Guardian." The people around the region and eventually the whole of Monsberg would begin keeping replicas of his shield as a symbol of protection. With the news of his mighty deeds spread across the [[Southern Union]], Percival secretly hoped that he would be granted an artifact of his own, to preserve his legacy and become a symbol of his lineage. This hope would later turn into disappointment and bitterness as his request was ridiculed by the [[Council of Five|Council]] members and the Archmagus [[Yuvira]]. Though Eridanion held to power to overrule the Council and grant his wish, the Archon did not. While at the time Percival did not hold him accountable for his failure, later in life Percival would come to see this as a betrayal of their friendship, thus planting the seeds for the end of their friendship. == Coronations and reign == With the death of his father in 1242 YS, Percival ascended the throne of Monsberg, coronated on The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS. His brother would be granted his post at Solum's Gate. Less than a year later the Grand Duke [[Florian of Arahall|Florian]] passed away of old age, and the title of Grand Duke of Monsbergia would also fall to Percival. Percival ruled fairly over his subjects and was well-liked amongst his people, making regular public appearances. He would host various festivals and fairs on the Monsberg Castle grounds, bridging the gap between himself and the people. For the early part of his reign, Percival's with Eridanion would grow into a fruitful partnership between Monsbergia and [[The Divine Empire of Solum|Solum]], with many trade agreements and treaties signed over drinks between old friends. Only later in life did Percival grow cold towards his former friend. == Personal life == Percival never married nor did he have children. It is suspected that the reason for this was that he was madly in love with Kellerin, ever since their university days. While Kellerin was friends with both brothers, she would fall for Adrik and the two were in a relationship for several years after university, only ending when their respective duties grew too much for handle. In early 1239, Adrik came to Percival with a child he had concieved out of wedlock. Percival helped his brother convince their father to raise the child as a member of the royal family, even as Adrik hid the name of the mother of the child from him and Alexandar. After Adrik was stationed to Solum's Gate, Percival would raise [[Illya]] as his own during the long days that Adrik could not. Throughout his life, he held a deep rooted nationalistic zeal for his country. Over the years, as his relationship with Eridanion and the other nations soured, his love for Monsberg never wavered. Towards the end of his life, he grew weary of the restrictions imposed by the Archon and the Council, but without the power to fight on his own, he had to bide his time. This search to the power to impose his own will on the Union led him to obtain a [[Drop of the Void]]. == Death/Disappearnce == During the night of 329th Sun, 1264 YS, Percival was awakened by his guards, telling him that Illya had returned with a group of strange characters. Upset to awoken, he dressed and went to throne room to receive the guests, only to be met with six people who were not Illya. These people (the party) petitioned him for answers regarding a scrap of red Monsbergian fabric and the crest of a royal guard they had found in the belongings of some cultists. Percival feigned ignorance, telling them the cultists must have stolen it and the crest. During this conversation, [[Akou]] is able to sneak up behind the Duke and suddenly stabs him with a rapier, clean through the throat and breaking the chain of his necklace. Choking on his own blood and dying, Percival crushes the Drop of the Void, desperately attempting to preserve his life. However, the transformation into an [[Avatar of the Void]] is unstable as he was dying when in occured. The blackhole would gradually tear apart his new body, destroying it. This process was expedited by his own niece, blasting him with Guiding Bolts, and her newfound friends. As the blackhole sucked in the last of his Avatar, a bright life pierced the ceiling of the throne room. When the party recovered their sight, they were left in a room full of rubble and fallen pillars, and no sign of the Duke. e841a380c411929e81866d10200e36139dc1171d 197 196 2023-09-18T04:10:31Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Percival the Guardian</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Percival.png</default> </image> <header>[[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]], [[Second of the Union]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 263rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Florian of Arahall]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Kellerin the Sailor]]</default> </data> <header>[[The Lord of Monsberg]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Alexandar of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header>[[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 350th Sun, 1229 YS - The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 68th Sun, 1207 YS</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dd"> <label>Deathdate</label> <default>The 329th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="dp"> <label>Deathplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>[[Alexandar of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>[[Cecilia of Scorcross]]</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> Percival the Guardian was a Monsbergian statesman and military leader who served as both the [[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]] and later as [[The Lord of Monsberg]] and the [[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]] until his death/disappearance in late 1264.

The boys grew up together in [[Monsberg Castle]], and were frequently seen running through the halls, or play-fighting in the courtyard. Their father instilled in them a great sense of pride for their homeland, and to value the preservation of [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia|Monsbergia]] above all else. When he was of age, Percival attended the [[Holy University of Solum]] starting in 1225, studying warcraft and battlefield command. During their time in Solum, he and his brother would become great friends with other influential figures, including Eridanion, [[Kellerin the Sailor]], and [[Arivan]]. == Tenure at Solum's Gate == After his graduation from the University, Percival was assigned a post at [[Solum's Gate]] as Lord-Protector. While the longer tenured troops stationed questioned his inexperience, he quickly earned their respect as a worthy leader. Over his years as Lord-Protector, he built a reputation for vigilantly protecting the small northern villages from raids from the mountain wildlings. On one such occasion, his party was attacked by a large band of wildlings while patrolling through the village of [[Valles]]. It is said that he singlehandedly fought off twenty of them on his own, earning him his epithet "the Guardian." The people around the region and eventually the whole of Monsberg would begin keeping replicas of his shield as a symbol of protection. With the news of his mighty deeds spread across the [[Southern Union]], Percival secretly hoped that he would be granted an artifact of his own, to preserve his legacy and become a symbol of his lineage. This hope would later turn into disappointment and bitterness as his request was ridiculed by the [[Council of Five|Council]] members and the Archmagus [[Yuvira]]. Though Eridanion held to power to overrule the Council and grant his wish, the Archon did not. While at the time Percival did not hold him accountable for his failure, later in life Percival would come to see this as a betrayal of their friendship, thus planting the seeds for the end of their friendship. == Coronations and reign == With the death of his father in 1242 YS, Percival ascended the throne of Monsberg, coronated on The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS. His brother would be granted his post at Solum's Gate. Less than a year later the Grand Duke [[Florian of Arahall|Florian]] passed away of old age, and the title of Grand Duke of Monsbergia would also fall to Percival. Percival ruled fairly over his subjects and was well-liked amongst his people, making regular public appearances. He would host various festivals and fairs on the Monsberg Castle grounds, bridging the gap between himself and the people. For the early part of his reign, Percival's with Eridanion would grow into a fruitful partnership between Monsbergia and [[The Divine Empire of Solum|Solum]], with many trade agreements and treaties signed over drinks between old friends. Only later in life did Percival grow cold towards his former friend. == Personal life == Percival never married nor did he have children. It is suspected that the reason for this was that he was madly in love with Kellerin, ever since their university days. While Kellerin was friends with both brothers, she would fall for Adrik and the two were in a relationship for several years after university, only ending when their respective duties grew too much for handle. In early 1239, Adrik came to Percival with a child he had concieved out of wedlock. Percival helped his brother convince their father to raise the child as a member of the royal family, even as Adrik hid the name of the mother of the child from him and Alexandar. After Adrik was stationed to Solum's Gate, Percival would raise [[Illya]] as his own during the long days that Adrik could not. Throughout his life, he held a deep rooted nationalistic zeal for his country. Over the years, as his relationship with Eridanion and the other nations soured, his love for Monsberg never wavered. Towards the end of his life, he grew weary of the restrictions imposed by the Archon and the Council, but without the power to fight on his own, he had to bide his time. This search to the power to impose his own will on the Union led him to obtain a [[Drop of the Void]]. == Death/Disappearnce == During the night of 329th Sun, 1264 YS, Percival was awakened by his guards, telling him that Illya had returned with a group of strange characters. Upset to awoken, he dressed and went to throne room to receive the guests, only to be met with six people who were not Illya. These people (the party) petitioned him for answers regarding a scrap of red Monsbergian fabric and the crest of a royal guard they had found in the belongings of some cultists. Percival feigned ignorance, telling them the cultists must have stolen it and the crest. During this conversation, [[Akou]] is able to sneak up behind the Duke and suddenly stabs him with a rapier, clean through the throat and breaking the chain of his necklace. Choking on his own blood and dying, Percival crushes the Drop of the Void, desperately attempting to preserve his life. However, the transformation into an [[Avatar of the Void]] is unstable as he was dying when in occured. The blackhole would gradually tear apart his new body, destroying it. This process was expedited by his own niece, blasting him with Guiding Bolts, and her newfound friends. As the blackhole sucked in the last of his Avatar, a bright life pierced the ceiling of the throne room. When the party recovered their sight, they were left in a room full of rubble and fallen pillars, and no sign of the Duke. 0990bd7468266a09899ec481344ce4be337af5ee 200 199 2023-09-18T04:12:05Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Percival the Guardian</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Percival.png</default> </image> <header>[[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]], [[Second of the Union]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 263rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Florian of Arahall]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Kellerin the Sailor]]</default> </data> <header>[[The Lord of Monsberg]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS - The 330th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>[[Alexandar of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header>[[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>The 350th Sun, 1229 YS - The 73rd Sun, 1242 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 68th Sun, 1207 YS</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dd"> <label>Deathdate</label> <default>The 329th Sun, 1264 YS</default> </data> <data source="dp"> <label>Deathplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>[[Alexandar of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>[[Cecilia of Scorcross]]</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> Percival the Guardian was a Monsbergian statesman and military leader who served as both the [[Lord-Protector of Solum's Gate]] and later as [[The Lord of Monsberg]] and the [[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]] until his death/disappearance in late 1264. Listen to his theme here: [https://open.spotify.com/track/2cv7UmHKEGwHHbVe3UKbTE?si=01ac079d0c214f2e] == Early Life and Education == Percival was born on The 68th Sun of 1204 YS to [[Alexandar of Monsberg]] and [[Cecilia of Scorcross]]. As a child, he was quite strong, both terms of physicality and his brash personality. He was the family's first son and thus the heir-apparent to his father's titles from birth. This birthright resulted in a man who would never falter in the face of any adversity. As quoted by [[Eridanion the Scholar|Eridanion]], he was "the bravest man I'd ever met.

The second son of the family, Adrik idolized his brother, aspiring to be as strong as his big brother. Together they would be seen sprinting through the halls of [[Monsberg Castle]] or leaping from the tower to be caught by a spell. While Percival was blessed with a strong body and tactical brain, Adrik's talents were in diplomacy and magecraft. He would follow his brother to study at the [[Holy University of Solum]], earning a degree in magecraft. During his time in Solum, he and his brother would become great friends with other influential figures, like Eridanion and Arivan. In his final year, Adrik created a spell so powerful, he was forbidden from ever casting it. The Archmagus Yuvira sealed it within a staff and had it locked in the [[Scorian Vaults]]. It is unknown what this spell even did, but it must have had incredible destructive power to have had the Archmagus seal it away for the stability of the Union. Adrik met [[Kellerin the Sailor]], then just Kellerin of Arahall on the first day of classes, sharing a class in architecture. They became fast friends and would pursue a brief relationship towards the end of their degrees, but it ended on poor terms due to each's respective royal duties. == Life after Graduation == Adrik's skill in magecraft was so great that the Archmagus herself offered to tutor him after his graduation, but he declined, stating that his duty was to Monsberg. With his brother stationed at the remote [[Solum's Gate]], Adrik became the Grand Duchy's most prominent diplomat. Using his connections from his time in Solum, he brokered deals and signed treaties across the [[Southern Union]], from [[Lightfall]] to [[Bracketton]]. == Coronations == In 1242, returning from a diplomatic trip from [[Barnard's Point]], Adrik found his father had passed away while he had been sailing back. He immediately inherited his brother's former title as Lord-Protector. In 1264, after Percival's disappearance, Adrik ascended the Lordship of Monsberg. == Personal Life == Due to his stationing out in Solum's Gate, Adrik is unmarried. He has one daughter named [[Illya]], who up until recently had been under the care of her uncle in the capital. Adrik was briefly in a relationship with The Lady Kellerin of Arahall during their youth, and are currently on good terms with each other having reconciled during a diplomatic visit in 1238 YS. 6bffc8a736fc84862500d58cf8861c5d1e40357e Main Page 0 1 52 51 2023-09-16T08:14:31Z HelixOxford 2 /* Recent Updates/New Stories! */ wikitext text/x-wiki == Welcome to the Chronicle of Eridanion == On the continent of [[Astria]], the year is 1264.

He was born in [[Lightfall]], to unremarkable parents. He was later abandoned for unknown reasons. He scraped by pickpocketing the streets of Lightfall. When he was 14, Partitio travelled to [[Solum]], hoping to find wealthier victims. Unfortunately, his first target ended up being none other than [[Arivan]], son of the Archmagus. He was easily caught by the powerful wizard, and thrown in jail. However, after listening to his story, Arivan decided to pity him. Arivan released him on the condition that Partitio join the [[Messengers Guild]]. == Life as a Messenger == Partitio reported to the Solum branch of the Messengers Guild, and was greeted by [[Jagen]], the quartermaster. And so he was on his way, given his first delivery and a steady pay check. Never before had Partitio had the freedom to roam as he did then. And roam he did, travelling the length of the continent and back and meeting all sorts of people along the way. In 1236, he once again found himself in Solum. A chance meeting with Arivan led to the two talking of the past couple of years. The wizard was proud that Partitio had made a name for himself and offered to take him along on an expedition to the [[Northern Expanses]]. He hastily agreed, desperate to explore the unexplored. Partitio had not been able to secure expedition charter by himself, but travelling with the Archmagus' son would be an optimal path. So together they went off to Solum's gate to begin their first of many journeys together. == Life as an Explorer == f60da12c697b27d4ba47c902daa3b65e61acb305 521 520 2023-09-17T08:07:06Z HelixOxford 2 /* Life as a Messenger */ wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Partitio</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Partitio.png</default> </image> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 132nd Sun, 1219 YS </default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Lightfall]], [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="dd"> <label>Deathdate</label> <default>The 192nd Sun, 1264 YS (aged 45) </default> </data> <data source="dp"> <label>Deathplace</label> <default>[[Lightfall]], [[The Divine Empire of Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>Unnamed Father</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>Unnamed mother</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> Paritio was a famed adventurer and explorer. == Early Life == Not much is known about Partitio's early life.

There have been entire years where Eridan does not grace the night sky with it's presence, only to return and stay for an equally long time. 92d072622c01ba43ee9c9e885b34f997b98c0da6 File:Summer contellations.png 6 150 545 2023-09-21T03:39:45Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 Story 0 89 400 399 2023-09-21T03:53:09Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore. A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in [[Toliman]] for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. == The 301st Sun, 1264 YS == Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] == The 308th Sun, 1264 YS == After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkwardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the park around the city walls. === Colt's Party === Colt takes his party to the address he was given on the edge of the Ducal Quarter of Arahall. Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. The party discusses the strange behaviour of the butler. Why was he unaware that his master had to deliver a package? Why was he unfazed by the disappearance of his master for several days? Why hadn't the butler offered to go and get the master himself? Feeling that something sinister was afoot, the party decided to investigate the house to see if the package is being hidden, or if the mysterious butler has anything to hide. Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. [[File:Tobiashouselayout.png|200px|thumb|right|Layout of Tobias' house.]] After searching for a couple minutes, they reach the second door within the house. This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. === Illya's Party === Illya's party arrives in Arahall minutes after. Having visited many times during her childhood, she easily navigates her way to the Ducal Quarter. They are met with guards patrolling the park outside the walls. They inquire about an audience with The Lady [[Kellerin the Sailor|Kellerin]]. The guards point them towards the main gate where they ask for a name to be added to the waiting list for The Lady to look over before deciding her schedule for the day. Illya writes only her first name: Illya. As the party awaits news about their audience, Faron climbs a tree. The others enjoy their time in the park. In the tree, Faron observes the guard rotations and notes three towers splitting up the curtain wall. There did not seem to be any clear path into the inner city other the primary gate. Luckily they did not have to find one. After a little while of resting beneath a particularly nice tree, a guard appears and unfurls a scroll: "LADY ILLYA OF MONSBERG, DAUGHTER OF ADRIK OF MONSBERG, YOU WILL BE SEEN NOW. PROCEED" Illya had not accounted that Kellerin would know exactly who she was, given their shared past (oooooh). The guards escort the group towards the audience chambers. As they pass through the main gate, they notice another group on the left. They were standing outside a rather small house: two people with white hair, one hooded, and a turtle. They decided not to call to them, even though they appeared to be the same group from the tavern a while ago. Entering the audience chamber, Kellerin leaps up from her throne and hugs Illya tightly. "Mymy you have grown! You simply do not visit enough How is your father How long -, " The barrage of questions went on, before Illya was able to get a word in. She asked to speak with the Lady privately, so Kellerin led her to the study behind the throne. <spoiler show="This is a spoiler for Illya's backstory" hide="Hide spoiler">In the study, Illya regales Kellerin with her story. She had run away from the care of her Uncle [[Percival the Guardian|Percival]], since he wanted to marry her off to [[Brannick of Alaphor]] to secure a grain deal with the [[League of Igeum]]. She wishes for asylum in Arahall. Kellerin laughs and tells her of course, "anything to spite old Percy over there!" The only condition is that Illya go to find the royal head chef, [[Tobias]]. He had gone missing in the West Woods a couple days before their arrival, after a wholehearted promise of a mushroom tart for dinner.</spoiler> After Illya exits the study, she tells her party they need to go find a chef whos gone missing in the West Woods. The party agrees to follow her. === Reunion === As both parties head off into the woods to find Tobias, they meet at the western gate. Colt's party walks past without saying a word (so edgy). Illya decides to follow them at a distance, with Ambrose following closer, miraculously avoiding detection several times. Both parties trek through the dense forest for hours as the sunset crept up on them. After these hours of fruitless searching, Faron decides to attempt to ask the creatures around them for clues. While a spider and a crow fail to provide reliable information, a fox tells of that Tobias had headed past a couple days earlier, but it hadn't seen him since. Furthermore, there were other humanoids in the forest, hooded figures to the northwest. Colt's party was the first to find the cultists. As the golden sunset gave way to the inky blackness of night, a soft purple glow could be seen in the distance. AS both groups approached they saw quite a strange scene. Four hooded cultists stood around a large brazier filled with a odd purple fire, hands raised and chanting a slow chant in perfect harmony. Five other hooded figures stood around, sitting on boxes, perhaps only there for guard duty. Above the flames floated the missing chef, seemingly unconscious, spinning slowly like a rotisserie chicken. As Mikey approaches to get a better look, he steps on a dry branch. In the silence of the night, he may as well have sounded a warhorn. (I feel turtles are not particularly stealthy). The five cultists not currently involved the ritual immediately jump up to attack the party. Roll initiative! [[File:Dropofthevoid.png|thumb|200px|right|Necklace that the cultist took before running.]] The battle begins with Colt's group ahead and Illya's behind having caught up as the combat began. Fill in the fight - lots of entangle - crit bonfire from Phoebe - accurate bow shooting from Ambrose - Big fog from Val - Mikey takes quite a bit of damage, immediately throws his trident into a tree - Colt clobbers with his staff - Akou mostly useless if I'm remembering After the initial five cultists are killed, the other four stop their ritual. Tobias is blasted out of the fog into a nearby tree. If he wasn't unconscious before, he is now (oof). Three other cultists are quickly dispatched, but one is able to escape. Akou notices that the cultist grabs a necklace with a black gem as they flee. In this act, they get their inner sleeve caught on a box leaving behind a small piece of red fabric (ooh). Illya stabilizes Tobias, he appears to be totally fine other wise. Strangely upbeat he asks if any of these people are Colt Aschen. Colt approaches and Tobias hands him a notebook before cheerfully walking away into the darkness of the woods. ---- Illya gains a bag of holding. Faron gains a Crest of Monsbergia.

They go to Monsberg. As they reach the city in the dead of night, it is eerily quiet. So they decide to break into an inn and wake some sleeping patrons (are we sure these are the good guys?). 1cad53cd29d1e9746330bb81e2a9503cd43d3dcf 401 400 2023-09-24T01:11:54Z 2604:3D09:E7E:B0B0:805:5B4C:F479:E2DF 0 /* Reunion */ wikitext text/x-wiki == The 300th Sun, 1264 == The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore. A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in [[Toliman]] for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. == The 301st Sun, 1264 YS == Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] == The 308th Sun, 1264 YS == After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkwardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the park around the city walls. === Colt's Party === Colt takes his party to the address he was given on the edge of the Ducal Quarter of Arahall. Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. The party discusses the strange behaviour of the butler. Why was he unaware that his master had to deliver a package? Why was he unfazed by the disappearance of his master for several days? Why hadn't the butler offered to go and get the master himself? Feeling that something sinister was afoot, the party decided to investigate the house to see if the package is being hidden, or if the mysterious butler has anything to hide. Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. [[File:Tobiashouselayout.png|200px|thumb|right|Layout of Tobias' house.]] After searching for a couple minutes, they reach the second door within the house. This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. === Illya's Party === Illya's party arrives in Arahall minutes after. Having visited many times during her childhood, she easily navigates her way to the Ducal Quarter. They are met with guards patrolling the park outside the walls. They inquire about an audience with The Lady [[Kellerin the Sailor|Kellerin]]. The guards point them towards the main gate where they ask for a name to be added to the waiting list for The Lady to look over before deciding her schedule for the day. Illya writes only her first name: Illya. As the party awaits news about their audience, Faron climbs a tree. The others enjoy their time in the park. In the tree, Faron observes the guard rotations and notes three towers splitting up the curtain wall. There did not seem to be any clear path into the inner city other the primary gate. Luckily they did not have to find one. After a little while of resting beneath a particularly nice tree, a guard appears and unfurls a scroll: "LADY ILLYA OF MONSBERG, DAUGHTER OF ADRIK OF MONSBERG, YOU WILL BE SEEN NOW. PROCEED" Illya had not accounted that Kellerin would know exactly who she was, given their shared past (oooooh). The guards escort the group towards the audience chambers. As they pass through the main gate, they notice another group on the left. They were standing outside a rather small house: two people with white hair, one hooded, and a turtle. They decided not to call to them, even though they appeared to be the same group from the tavern a while ago. Entering the audience chamber, Kellerin leaps up from her throne and hugs Illya tightly. "Mymy you have grown! You simply do not visit enough How is your father How long -, " The barrage of questions went on, before Illya was able to get a word in. She asked to speak with the Lady privately, so Kellerin led her to the study behind the throne. <spoiler show="This is a spoiler for Illya's backstory" hide="Hide spoiler">In the study, Illya regales Kellerin with her story. She had run away from the care of her Uncle [[Percival the Guardian|Percival]], since he wanted to marry her off to [[Brannick of Alaphor]] to secure a grain deal with the [[League of Igeum]]. She wishes for asylum in Arahall. Kellerin laughs and tells her of course, "anything to spite old Percy over there!" The only condition is that Illya go to find the royal head chef, [[Tobias]]. He had gone missing in the West Woods a couple days before their arrival, after a wholehearted promise of a mushroom tart for dinner.</spoiler> After Illya exits the study, she tells her party they need to go find a chef whos gone missing in the West Woods. The party agrees to follow her. === Reunion === As both parties head off into the woods to find Tobias, they meet at the western gate. Colt's party walks past without saying a word (so edgy). Illya decides to follow them at a distance, with Ambrose following closer, miraculously avoiding detection several times. Both parties trek through the dense forest for hours as the sunset crept up on them. After these hours of fruitless searching, Faron decides to attempt to ask the creatures around them for clues. While a spider and a crow fail to provide reliable information, a fox tells of that Tobias had headed past a couple days earlier, but it hadn't seen him since. Furthermore, there were other humanoids in the forest, hooded figures to the northwest. Colt's party was the first to find the cultists. As the golden sunset gave way to the inky blackness of night, a soft purple glow could be seen in the distance. AS both groups approached they saw quite a strange scene. Four hooded cultists stood around a large brazier filled with a odd purple fire, hands raised and chanting a slow chant in perfect harmony. Five other hooded figures stood around, sitting on boxes, perhaps only there for guard duty. Above the flames floated the missing chef, seemingly unconscious, spinning slowly like a rotisserie chicken. As Mikey approaches to get a better look, he steps on a dry branch. In the silence of the night, he may as well have sounded a warhorn. (I feel turtles are not particularly stealthy). The five cultists not currently involved the ritual immediately jump up to attack the party. Roll initiative! [[File:Dropofthevoid.png|thumb|200px|right|Necklace that the cultist took before running.]] The battle begins with Colt's group ahead and Illya's behind having caught up as the combat began. Fill in the fight - lots of entangle - crit bonfire from Phoebe - accurate bow shooting from Ambrose - Big fog from Val - Mikey takes quite a bit of damage, immediately throws his trident into a tree - Colt clobbers with his staff - Akou mostly useless if I'm remembering After the initial five cultists are killed, the other four stop their ritual. Tobias is blasted out of the fog into a nearby tree. If he wasn't unconscious before, he is now (oof). Three other cultists are quickly dispatched, but one is able to escape. Akou notices that the cultist grabs a necklace with a black gem as they flee. In this act, they get their inner sleeve caught on a box leaving behind a small piece of red fabric (ooh). Illya stabilizes Tobias, he appears to be totally fine other wise. Strangely upbeat he asks if any of these people are Colt Aschen. Colt approaches and Tobias hands him a notebook before cheerfully walking away into the darkness of the woods. ---- Illya gains a bag of holding. Faron gains a Crest of Monsbergia. Akou gets nothing from the boxes. Colt says the notebook says to go to Solum to pick up another package. Phoebe gives Akou the scrap of Monsbergian red fabric to make a mask that covers her horns, as she is self conscious and doesn't like to stand out. They head back to Arahall, where Kellerin asks them to head to Monsberg to ask Lord [[Percival the Guardian|Percival]] about the things they found. She convinces them to do it after promising payment of 2 gp per day. On route to Monsberg, they stop by Planum, where they buy a number of things. And also assault Zwick :(. A fortune teller peers into Faron's future and tells her she saw nothing except someone or something peering back. They buy another bag of holding (and also a really smooth rock). They go to Monsberg. As they reach the city in the dead of night, it is eerily quiet. So they decide to break into an inn and wake some sleeping patrons (are we sure these are the good guys?). 064c058521966c2c440a8c3391becc3dd6387e42 Main Page 0 1 57 56 2023-09-21T03:55:37Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki == Welcome to the Chronicle of Eridanion == On the continent of [[Astria]], the year is 1264.

They are commonly grouped into the seasons in which they appear. At the beginning of the season, every constellation that can be seen at once is grouped into that season. Hence, it is possible to view every summer constellation (on a clear night) on the night of The 1st Sun. This does not mean that they are not visible in other seasons. For example, The Oathkeeper, Sword of Chara, is visible in its entirety beginning on The 330th Sun.

It is also believed by many that this is the site of some blackmarket antique and artifact trading, but it is unknown to the public how to access this part of the market. a458f57fee3b58c44cd07493ff43c609cfacb5e8 Grand Duchy of Monsbergia 0 57 266 265 2023-09-24T03:16:09Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Grand Duchy of Monsbergia</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Monsbergia.png</default> </image> <header>Flag</header> <image source="image"> <default> Monsbergflag.png </default> </image> <data source="capital"> <label>Capital</label> <default>[[Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="lang"> <label>Langauges</label> <default>[[Common]]</default> </data> <data source="demo"> <label>Denomym</label> <default>Monsbergian</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>Government</label> <default>Absolute Monarchy</default> </data> <data source="gov"> <label>[[Grand Duchess]]</label> <default>[[Kellerin the Sailor]]</default> </data> <data source="found"> <label>Founding</label> <default>The 98th Sun, 644 YS</default> </data> <data source="area"> <label>Area</label> <default>371,325 km<sup>2<sup></default> </data> <data source="pop"> <label>Population</label> <default>1,027,793</default> </data> <data source="popden"> <label>Population Density</label> <default>2.77/km<sup>2<sup></default> </data> </infobox> 00e97402cb4aa36880c3eecf6956415ab606cc4c Illya 0 19 129 128 2023-09-24T04:44:30Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Lady Illya of Monsberg</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default> Illya.png </default> </image> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 2nd Sun, 1239 YS</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="pros"> <label>Pronouns</label> <default>She/Her</default> </data> <data source="house"> <label>House</label> <default>[[Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>[[Adrik of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>Unknown mother</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> Although she is daughter of [[Adrik of Monsberg|Adrik]], Illya is under the care of her Uncle, Lord [[Percival the Guardian|Percival]], while her father is stationed at the remote [[Solum's Gate]].

His upbringing involved a strict academic schedule as both his parents wished to see their son exceed them. And exceed them he would. == Coronation == The 21st Archon, Carinum, was crowned on the 218st Sun of the 859th Year of Solum. He was Carrick, a 34 year old historian who had been working in the Scorian Library at the Holy University. Carrick had been particularly interested in the few writings on the [[Northern Dominion]] and had spent most of his career piecing together the story of Solum and the First Five. The first complete chronicle of [[Solum the Neverfading|Solum]]’s life is attributed to Carrick. While Solum’s story shed light on the final days of the Northern Dominion, the mysteries of this vast empire and the reasons for its fall were still shrouded in legend and doubt. After the death of [[Cainum]], the [[Sun Spear]] chose Carrick only 3 days after the [[Archon of Solum|Archon]]’s passing. He was writing the latest chapter of his Chronicle of Solum when the [[Archmagus of Solum]], [[Khalek]] approached him in his study. Knowing now his destiny had changed, Carrick went confidently to the [[Cenotaph of Solum]], a building he had dreamed of entering his whole life. He would spend 6 days in meditation before emerging with his regnal name: Carinum. Carinum would reign over a relatively stable [[The Divine Empire of Solum|Empire]] and [[Southern Union|Union]], with the other leaders during his time doing their best to maintain stability. Carinum had originally wished to expand international cooperation with respect to the institutions of learning and established the first exchange program between the [[Alaphor Conservatory]] and the [[Holy University of Solum]]. == The First Surge == === The 1st Sun, 861 YS === On the morning of the new year, the [[Knights of Chara]] at [[Solum's Gate]] spotted a large group of aberrations and monsters in the distance approaching the pass. The knight captain, [[Sir Suhelo]], was awoken and he gave orders to ready the knights and soldiers. Wielding the [[Oathkeeper]], Sir Suhelo led the knights in battle against this group of aberrations. They were able to fend off the monster's attack and by the end of the day, the monsters had retreated. Suhelo immediately contacted the Archon to let him know about the situation. Carinum was concerned about the timing of the attack, the monsters striking on the day the Empire was weakest. He ordered an increased contingent of soldiers at Solum’s Gate to fend off any number of approaching creatures. Carinum had read in the old texts of a type of monster that would appear to attack the towns of the Northern Dominion, but never being fully wiped out. Each attack consisted of the majority of monsters killed, however, a few would always retreat before they would be caught. They would return after ten years, stronger and faster. Each time they were beat back, they would return. These monsters nearly destroyed the Dominion and Carinum believed they preceded the string of disasters that ultimately caused its downfall. The strain on the Dominion’s resources left it unable to recover from the other calamities. Ultimately, they trapped the king of these beasts, [[The Lone Tyrant]] they called it, in a mountain, and dropped another mountain atop it. They did not know if they had killed it or simply trapped it. It was also around this time that the Nameless Order began their research into lange distance portals. This is a possible explanation for the origin of the Sun Spear. Carinum noticed similarities with the monsters Suhelo described and the ones he had read about. Concerned about the possibility of them being one and the same, he resolved to be at Solum’s Gate in ten years time, in case they returned on the same schedule as the Scourge of the Dominion. == The Second Surge == === The 1st Sun, 871 YS === Carinum awakened on the morning of the new year to silence. He had rallied over half of the Union’s combined forces and marched them to Solum’s Gate in preparation for another wave of monsters, yet they did not seem to be there. As he prepared to send the troops home, Suhelo burst into his tent. “They are here my lord.” A host of monsters and aberrations appeared in the distance, the very ground rumbling as they approached the camp, but the Union’s might was able to repel the monsters once again. == The Third Surge == === The 1st Sun, 881 YS === Once again, Carinum had brought half the Union’s soldiers to prepare to defend the pass, as he had ten years prior. This time, they were nearly defeated. The monster's numbers had increased again, by more than expected. The horde was growing faster than the ancient texts had indicated. In the heat of the battle, a group of monsters broke the line and fled into the continent. With their great speed, none were able to catch them. They rampaged across the countryside, slaughtering hundreds before coming upon [[Arahall]]. Lady [[Meria of Arahall|Meria]] stood in their way, and was able to crush them with the Forge at the cost of her left arm. As the dust cleared across the pass, the people were able to make out a large shape in the distance. The Lone Tyrant had been overseeing the battle. It had grown weak over the centuries trapped under the mountain, but its strength was gathering. Carinum knew that if he could not awaken the Sun Spear before the Tyrant grew too strong, the Gate would fall first, then the South. Time was running out. === The next decades === The next several decades passed as Carinum instituted mandatory military training for every able bodied citizen and called on all the citizens to defend the pass each decade. Meanwhile, he studied the ancient texts and the words of the past Archons, desperately trying to find the secret to unlocking the Sun Spear. But, he had reached the same wall each of his predecessors had reached. None had awakened the artifact, save for Solum himself. With each surge, the numbers grew greater, and each individual grew stronger. It was only a matter of time before they would be overwhelmed. == The Seventh Surge and Death == === The 1st Sun, 921 YS === It was as if the mountains themselves had come to block the pass. An unfathomable number of creatures approached in the distance. Behind them in the clouds stood the Tyrant, watching and waiting for the moment where it would join the fray and annihilate the forces arrayed against it. Against them stood the greatest host assembled in the past millennium anywhere on the contingent. Over three hundred thousand soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder stretching across the mountain pass. A wall made up of flesh and steel, and will and courage. Bristling with the finest weapons of war, swords and lances crafted by the masters of the era. Clad in armour shining in the morning dawn. Leaders from across the continent stood ready, their people behind them. From the Grand Duchess [[Hesperia The Evening Star|Hesperia]] herself, to the [[Klydain of Aschen|Supreme Chancellor]]. Even the President of the Confederacy, [[Panon Uljarin]], was there to lead his people in defending the land they all shared. Only the Oathkeeper was not raised in defiance of these twisted creatures. [[Sir Landus]] was late, a bit hungover, having been at the [[Hall of Pavonis]] the night before he was meant to set out with the rest of the Knights. In front of them all stood the Archon. Carinum was 96 years old at this point in time and still led the Union forces from the front, Sun Spear in hand. It was Carinum who threw the first strike, hurling the blazing spearing straight through the enemy line, cleaving the monster forces in two with a single strike. The silence of anticipation turned to screams. As the armies clashed, the shining became dull, as dirt and blood wetted the steel and gold. Hundreds fell on either side within minutes. The neat lines now jagged across the mountain pass. For a time, it seemed that the Union would once again prevail, giving Carinum another ten years to awaken the spear. He would not be granted the luxury. As he battled in the centre, the eastern forces were faltering. The troops of [[Confederacy of Barnard|Barnard]] were not as well trained as the professional armies of the other nations, their President unequipped to lead such a large force. As his people fell around him, President Panon was struck by panic and was the first to fall. The people of Barnard soon followed him, their poor organization exploited by the creatures who ripped them to pieces. Now cut off from the main army as the Barnard forces routed, the League’s army were also being pushed back. Chancellor Klydain had been given the [[Duskbreaker]] of [[Pavon the Unbreaking|Pavon]] for use in this battle. Shields locked with his countrymen, they held a sturdy shield wall, repelling attacks from the creature's claws and bites alike. But of course like all the other humans, the soldiers of Igeum tire. And tire they did. Once the first faltered, the wall had fallen. Desperate to preserve his own life, Klydain ordered the remains of the soldiers into a circular shield wall, with himself at the centre. Perhaps it was this act of cowardice that caused his demise, or even the will of Pavon himself, but behind the shields of others was not the place of the Duskbreaker. Layers of soldiers were ripped back like opening an onion? leaving the Chancellor at the mercy of the massive claws of a particularly large monster. As impenetrable as the Duskbreaker was, it was a shield, and could not prevent a claw from wrapping around Klydain. He was lifted from the ground and thrown across the ground like one would skip a pebble. The Duskbreaker fell from his hands clattering on the rocks. With the League and Confederacy routed, only the soldiers of Solum and [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia|Monsbergia]] still stood against the endless tide of monsters, the only obstacle preventing the rampaging beasts from tearing down 900 years of civilization. The situation was grim. Carinum, in his old age, was not as powerful as he once was, yet he still stood as the anchor of the Union forces. Searing flame incinerated nearby creatures as their larger counterparts found themselves punctured by the golden lance. With every horror he struck down, it seemed several took its place. Soon, their numbers became overwhelming. One caught the Archon’s leg toppling him to the ground. His armour rang as it hit the rock and dirt beneath. Like calling children to a meal, monsters pounced from all directions, trapping Carinum beneath a writhing pile of carapace and twisted horrors. A light shone out from within. Carinum burst forth calling all the power he could muster out of the artifact to scorch the shell that had been encasing him. His eyes blazed with power. And just as quickly as he had burst out of that pile of creatures, he was met with the Tyrant itself. It seemed to believe the battle had been won and was coming to claim its prize. Facing the great beast alone, Carinum battled valiantly. The great Sun Spear was used to its greatest power since the days of Solum, blasting blinding light and heat, and slashing the outer hide of the Lone Tyrant. It was not enough. Nothing of the earth could put down the Tyrant, only pure starfire. Five times Carinum lept from the earth and pierced the creature, and five times it howled in pain, thrashing its enormous body, but it would not fall. The toll of exerting so much power made the Archon grow weary, his movements slowing. He stumbled for just a second, and the beast caught him with its massive claw. Carinum was slain, his body broken after so many years of fighting. It seemed that all was lost. With the forces of three of the four major powers defeated, the Grand Duchess Hesperia stood alone. Suddenly, the warhorns sounded in the distance. The sound of thundering hooves and clattering steel approached at great speed. Sir Landus and the Knights of Chara appeared over the horizon, the Oathkeeper raised at the Lone Tyrant, screaming in defiance. With the appearance of the Knights, Hesperia dashed across the battlefield. The Forge and her were one, smashing the monsters back as she cleared a path across the pass. She found the Duskbreaker fallen near the body of the Chancellor. Lifting the two artifacts to the air, she shouted to her comrades and rallied the remaining soldiers to hold. With the Knights behind them, the people were reinvigorated to fight again, fighting side by side with the legendary knights, the Oathkeeper instilling an unbreakable will and courage to fight in each and every one. With the Duskbreaker in one hand and the Forge in the other, Hesperia fought the Tyrant. Each swing of its claw was met with Pavon’s shield, effortlessly deflecting it, and a counter attack with the Forge. Their battle sounded of lightning striking the pass with each blow exchanged. The Forge swung with the might of one hundred thousand people, like a thunderclap with each hit. A never ending barrage of blunt force trauma. The two fought to a standstill, neither tiring. The attacks of the beast could not break the Duskbreaker, while Hesperia could not kill the creature without the Sun Spear. Yet, when Landus rode on, cutting it with the Oathkeeper, it was forced to retreat and bide its time, it would not be able to defeat both artifact holders. Staying risked another thousand years of imprisonment, so the Lone Tyrant left the battle, its minions slaughtered by the remains of the Union forces. Over two hundred thousand soldiers were killed that day. The devastating loss of several leaders of the Nations, especially the Archon, would severely weaken the resolve of the general public.

His upbringing involved a strict academic schedule as both his parents wished to see their son exceed them. And exceed them he would. == Coronation == The 21st Archon, Carinum, was crowned on the 218st Sun of the 859th Year of Solum. He was Carrick, a 34 year old historian who had been working in the Scorian Library at the Holy University. Carrick had been particularly interested in the few writings on the [[Northern Dominion]] and had spent most of his career piecing together the story of Solum and the First Five. The first complete chronicle of [[Solum the Neverfading|Solum]]’s life is attributed to Carrick. While Solum’s story shed light on the final days of the Northern Dominion, the mysteries of this vast empire and the reasons for its fall were still shrouded in legend and doubt. After the death of [[Cainum]], the [[Sun Spear]] chose Carrick only 3 days after the [[Archon of Solum|Archon]]’s passing. He was writing the latest chapter of his Chronicle of Solum when the [[Archmagus of Solum]], [[Khalek]] approached him in his study. Knowing now his destiny had changed, Carrick went confidently to the [[Cenotaph of Solum]], a building he had dreamed of entering his whole life. He would spend 6 days in meditation before emerging with his regnal name: Carinum. Carinum would reign over a relatively stable [[The Divine Empire of Solum|Empire]] and [[Southern Union|Union]], with the other leaders during his time doing their best to maintain stability. Carinum had originally wished to expand international cooperation with respect to the institutions of learning and established the first exchange program between the [[Alaphor Conservatory]] and the [[Holy University of Solum]]. == The First Surge == === The 1st Sun, 861 YS === On the morning of the new year, the [[Knights of Chara]] at [[Solum's Gate]] spotted a large group of aberrations and monsters in the distance approaching the pass. The knight captain, [[Sir Suhelo]], was awoken and he gave orders to ready the knights and soldiers. Wielding the [[Oathkeeper]], Sir Suhelo led the knights in battle against this group of aberrations. They were able to fend off the monster's attack and by the end of the day, the monsters had retreated. Suhelo immediately contacted the Archon to let him know about the situation. Carinum was concerned about the timing of the attack, the monsters striking on the day the Empire was weakest. He ordered an increased contingent of soldiers at Solum’s Gate to fend off any number of approaching creatures. Carinum had read in the old texts of a type of monster that would appear to attack the towns of the Northern Dominion, but never being fully wiped out. Each attack consisted of the majority of monsters killed, however, a few would always retreat before they would be caught. They would return after ten years, stronger and faster. Each time they were beat back, they would return. These monsters nearly destroyed the Dominion and Carinum believed they preceded the string of disasters that ultimately caused its downfall. The strain on the Dominion’s resources left it unable to recover from the other calamities. Ultimately, they trapped the king of these beasts, [[The Lone Tyrant]] they called it, in a mountain, and dropped another mountain atop it. They did not know if they had killed it or simply trapped it. It was also around this time that the Nameless Order began their research into lange distance portals. This is a possible explanation for the origin of the Sun Spear. Carinum noticed similarities with the monsters Suhelo described and the ones he had read about. Concerned about the possibility of them being one and the same, he resolved to be at Solum’s Gate in ten years time, in case they returned on the same schedule as the Scourge of the Dominion. == The Second Surge == === The 1st Sun, 871 YS === Carinum awakened on the morning of the new year to silence. He had rallied over half of the Union’s combined forces and marched them to Solum’s Gate in preparation for another wave of monsters, yet they did not seem to be there. As he prepared to send the troops home, Suhelo burst into his tent. “They are here my lord.” A host of monsters and aberrations appeared in the distance, the very ground rumbling as they approached the camp, but the Union’s might was able to repel the monsters once again. == The Third Surge == === The 1st Sun, 881 YS === Once again, Carinum had brought half the Union’s soldiers to prepare to defend the pass, as he had ten years prior. This time, they were nearly defeated. The monster's numbers had increased again, by more than expected. The horde was growing faster than the ancient texts had indicated. In the heat of the battle, a group of monsters broke the line and fled into the continent. With their great speed, none were able to catch them. They rampaged across the countryside, slaughtering hundreds before coming upon [[Arahall]]. Lady [[Meria of Arahall|Meria]] stood in their way, and was able to crush them with the Forge at the cost of her left arm. As the dust cleared across the pass, the people were able to make out a large shape in the distance. The Lone Tyrant had been overseeing the battle. It had grown weak over the centuries trapped under the mountain, but its strength was gathering. Carinum knew that if he could not awaken the Sun Spear before the Tyrant grew too strong, the Gate would fall first, then the South. Time was running out. === The next decades === The next several decades passed as Carinum instituted mandatory military training for every able bodied citizen and called on all the citizens to defend the pass each decade. Meanwhile, he studied the ancient texts and the words of the past Archons, desperately trying to find the secret to unlocking the Sun Spear. But, he had reached the same wall each of his predecessors had reached. None had awakened the artifact, save for Solum himself. With each surge, the numbers grew greater, and each individual grew stronger. It was only a matter of time before they would be overwhelmed. == The Seventh Surge and Death == === The 1st Sun, 921 YS === It was as if the mountains themselves had come to block the pass. An unfathomable number of creatures approached in the distance. Behind them in the clouds stood the Tyrant, watching and waiting for the moment where it would join the fray and annihilate the forces arrayed against it. Against them stood the greatest host assembled in the past millennium anywhere on the contingent. Over three hundred thousand soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder stretching across the mountain pass. A wall made up of flesh and steel, and will and courage. Bristling with the finest weapons of war, swords and lances crafted by the masters of the era. Clad in armour shining in the morning dawn. Leaders from across the continent stood ready, their people behind them. From the Grand Duchess [[Hesperia The Evening Star|Hesperia]] herself, to the [[Klydain of Aschen|Supreme Chancellor]]. Even the President of the Confederacy, [[Panon Uljarin]], was there to lead his people in defending the land they all shared. Only the Oathkeeper was not raised in defiance of these twisted creatures. [[Sir Landus]] was late, a bit hungover, having been at the [[Hall of Pavonis]] the night before he was meant to set out with the rest of the Knights. In front of them all stood the Archon. Carinum was 96 years old at this point in time and still led the Union forces from the front, Sun Spear in hand. It was Carinum who threw the first strike, hurling the blazing spearing straight through the enemy line, cleaving the monster forces in two with a single strike. The silence of anticipation turned to screams. As the armies clashed, the shining became dull, as dirt and blood wetted the steel and gold. Hundreds fell on either side within minutes. The neat lines now jagged across the mountain pass. For a time, it seemed that the Union would once again prevail, giving Carinum another ten years to awaken the spear. He would not be granted the luxury. As he battled in the centre, the eastern forces were faltering. The troops of [[Confederacy of Barnard|Barnard]] were not as well trained as the professional armies of the other nations, their President unequipped to lead such a large force. As his people fell around him, President Panon was struck by panic and was the first to fall. The people of Barnard soon followed him, their poor organization exploited by the creatures who ripped them to pieces. Now cut off from the main army as the Barnard forces routed, the League’s army were also being pushed back. Chancellor Klydain had been given the [[Duskbreaker]] of [[Pavon the Unbreaking|Pavon]] for use in this battle. Shields locked with his countrymen, they held a sturdy shield wall, repelling attacks from the creature's claws and bites alike. But of course like all the other humans, the soldiers of Igeum tire. And tire they did. Once the first faltered, the wall had fallen. Desperate to preserve his own life, Klydain ordered the remains of the soldiers into a circular shield wall, with himself at the centre. Perhaps it was this act of cowardice that caused his demise, or even the will of Pavon himself, but behind the shields of others was not the place of the Duskbreaker. Layers of soldiers were ripped back like opening an onion? leaving the Chancellor at the mercy of the massive claws of a particularly large monster. As impenetrable as the Duskbreaker was, it was a shield, and could not prevent a claw from wrapping around Klydain. He was lifted from the ground and thrown across the ground like one would skip a pebble. The Duskbreaker fell from his hands clattering on the rocks. With the League and Confederacy routed, only the soldiers of Solum and [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia|Monsbergia]] still stood against the endless tide of monsters, the only obstacle preventing the rampaging beasts from tearing down 900 years of civilization. The situation was grim. Carinum, in his old age, was not as powerful as he once was, yet he still stood as the anchor of the Union forces. Searing flame incinerated nearby creatures as their larger counterparts found themselves punctured by the golden lance. With every horror he struck down, it seemed several took its place. Soon, their numbers became overwhelming. One caught the Archon’s leg toppling him to the ground. His armour rang as it hit the rock and dirt beneath. Like calling children to a meal, monsters pounced from all directions, trapping Carinum beneath a writhing pile of carapace and twisted horrors. A light shone out from within. Carinum burst forth calling all the power he could muster out of the artifact to scorch the shell that had been encasing him. His eyes blazed with power. And just as quickly as he had burst out of that pile of creatures, he was met with the Tyrant itself. It seemed to believe the battle had been won and was coming to claim its prize. Facing the great beast alone, Carinum battled valiantly. The great Sun Spear was used to its greatest power since the days of Solum, blasting blinding light and heat, and slashing the outer hide of the Lone Tyrant. It was not enough. Nothing of the earth could put down the Tyrant, only pure starfire. Five times Carinum lept from the earth and pierced the creature, and five times it howled in pain, thrashing its enormous body, but it would not fall. The toll of exerting so much power made the Archon grow weary, his movements slowing. He stumbled for just a second, and the beast caught him with its massive claw. Carinum was slain, his body broken after so many years of fighting. 14c1f8dd9bdb505b4155300d2e998fd5b9f14348 Hesperia The Evening Star 0 139 513 512 2023-09-30T03:53:02Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Hesperia, The Evening Star</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Hesperia.png</default> </image> <header>[[Grand Duchess of Monsbergia]], [[Second of the Union]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>Fill - The 17th Sun, 921 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Villar of Arahall]]</default> </data> <header>[[The Lady of Monsberg]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>Fill - The 17th Sun, 921 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>Unnamed Father</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>Unnamed mother</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>Unknown</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>[[Villar of Arahall]]</default> </data> </infobox> continued from [[Carinum the Old]]. Change the forge to an axe like amyr. It seemed that all was lost. With the forces of three of the four major powers defeated, the Grand Duchess Hesperia stood alone. Suddenly, the warhorns sounded in the distance. The sound of thundering hooves and clattering steel approached at great speed. Sir Landus and the Knights of Chara appeared over the horizon, the Oathkeeper raised at the Lone Tyrant, screaming in defiance. With the appearance of the Knights, Hesperia dashed across the battlefield. The Forge and her were one, smashing the monsters back as she cleared a path across the pass. She found the Duskbreaker fallen near the body of the Chancellor. Lifting the two artifacts to the air, she shouted to her comrades and rallied the remaining soldiers to hold. With the Knights behind them, the people were reinvigorated to fight again, fighting side by side with the legendary knights, the Oathkeeper instilling an unbreakable will and courage to fight in each and every one. With the Duskbreaker in one hand and the Forge in the other, Hesperia fought the Tyrant. Each swing of its claw was met with Pavon’s shield, effortlessly deflecting it, and a counter attack with the Forge. Their battle sounded of lightning striking the pass with each blow exchanged. The Forge swung with the might of one hundred thousand people, like a thunderclap with each hit. A never ending barrage of blunt force trauma. The two fought to a standstill, neither tiring. The attacks of the beast could not break the Duskbreaker, while Hesperia could not kill the creature without the Sun Spear. Yet, when Landus rode on, cutting it with the Oathkeeper, it was forced to retreat and bide its time, it would not be able to defeat both artifact holders. Staying risked another thousand years of imprisonment, so the Lone Tyrant left the battle, its minions slaughtered by the remains of the Union forces. Over two hundred thousand soldiers were killed that day. The devastating loss of several leaders of the Nations, especially the Archon, would severely weaken the resolve of the general public. Oathkeeper could not be brought to all the peoples of the land, and the loss of their great leaders was a huge blow to the morale of the Union. After the battle, Hesperia would renounce her titles to live out the rest of her days in solitude. She would occasionally visit the castle to see her family. 5f3f535825ed0b9e6f9ae6cbe5e37a2930a1aa45 514 513 2023-09-30T05:38:28Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Hesperia, The Evening Star</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default>Hesperia.png</default> </image> <header>[[Grand Duchess of Monsbergia]], [[Second of the Union]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>Fill - The 17th Sun, 921 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Villar of Arahall]]</default> </data> <header>[[The Lady of Monsberg]]</header> <data source="reign"> <label>Reign</label> <default>Fill - The 17th Sun, 921 YS</default> </data> <data source="pre"> <label>Predecessor</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="suc"> <label>Successor</label> <default>[[Theia of Monsberg]]</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Monsberg]], [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia]]</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>Unnamed Father</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>Unnamed mother</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>Unknown</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>Unnamed partner</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>[[Villar of Arahall]], [[Theia of Monsberg]]</default> </data> </infobox> continued from [[Carinum the Old]].

Unable to awaken the true power of the [[Sun Spear]], he perished along with over half of the Unions soldiers at the time. The Union’s military was decimated by the battle and it was unclear whether or not they would be able to recover in time to hold off the Eighth Surge. After falling from Carinum’s hands, the Sun Spear returned to [[Solum]] and laid at the [[Cenotaph of Solum|Cenotaph]] in wait. Weeks passed before the light of the Spear shone again, this time seeking the direction of the next Archon. It pointed to Taun. At the time, Taun was simply a footsoldier in the [[Southern Union|Union]]’s massively diminished army, training for a what seemed to be an impossible task. Taun was coronated Taurion, the 22nd Archon, on The 41st Sun 921 at the age of 21. == Preparing for the Eighth Surge == After he was chosen, he was crowned and an even heavier task weighed on his shoulders. He knew it wouldn’t be possible to raise enough military might to repel even the Seventh Surge within ten years. He threw himself into research, reading the lore of Solum, and the notes of Carinum, trying desperately to find a way to awaken the spear. But, like his predecessor he wasn’t able to. While still a mighty weapon, without its full power, there was little chance of victory. In light of his failure to awaken the spear, he worked with the great mages of the time, including the Astronomer [[Tepe]] and the [[Grand Duke of Monsbergia]], Lord [[Villar of Arahall]]. Together they fashioned a number of powerful spells and Villar even used the forge to create what was known as [[Villar’s Glass]], an artifact that would magnify the power of any spell tenfold. It was also then that Tepe created her greatest spell, now known as [[Tepe’s Falling Star]]. == The 1st Sun, 931 YS == As the ten year mark crept closer, Taurion gathered his forces and marched to the Solum’s Gate, his army smaller than Carinum’s ten years prior. The situation was dire. The lords hoped with their new inventions it would be enough to hold back the surge once more, to invigorate the people. It wasn’t enough. As an uncountable number of monsters spilled into the pass, Tepe cast her Falling Star through Villar’s Glass, creating a spell powerful enough to wipe the city of Solum off the face of the planet. It wasn’t enough. Just as Tepe collapsed from expending all her energy and the dust cleared, more monsters began to take the place of their annihilated brethren. Taurion had his troops form defensive positions, preparing to take the brunt of the assault. The people of the South fought valiantly, but it wasn’t enough. The monsters were neverending. As the waves relentlessly assault the coast, wave after wave came crashing into the army. With each wave they came closer to cracking. First fell the western flank as the Knights of Chara were cut down until only the Captain, [[Sir Landus]] stood, Sword of Chara in one hand, his family’s shield and crest in the other. The [[Oathkeeper, The Sword of Chara|Oathkeeper]] cut through the creatures one after another as Landus climbed an ever growing pile of bodies. Somehow he stood alone. Fighting on all sides on the ashes of his fathers and wielding the sword of his goddess. The eastern flank fell next, assaulted by giant beasts that would tower over a house with claws as long as a wagon and carapace as hard as stone. Lord Villar took up the [[Forge of Adella]], crushing claw and carapace alike, with his warriors of Monsbergia at his back. Yet, the attacks never ceased, they never yielded. Villar was not tireless, facing an enemy who did not rest, who did not stop. As the battle raged, Landus felt his muscles falter, and yet he fought on. He fought until he was nearly dead on his feet, movements sluggish before one of the creatures’ claws caught him. Thus ended the Saga of Lord Villar, Duke of Arahall. The Forge fell from his hand and returned to its form as a small hammer, clattering on the rock below. With the loss of their leader, the forces of Monsbergia turned and were routed by the giants. Then the only force left was Taurion and his personal retinue. Personally trained by the Archon, they were the finest soldiers in the land, wielding weapons of power crafted by the forges of Arahall. Even so, they were pushed back again and again as the east and west flanks collapsed from both sides. As men fell left and right, hope seemed to be lost. Swarms of creatures kept coming, with the greatest of them all the King of Beasts(change) appearing in the distance. Taurion’s men dwindled as he barely had enough to form a full defensive line across the pass. Just as the line was broken and monsters began to break through, just when hope dimmed, Taurion’s body began to glow, the Sun Spear in his hand, incandescent white. A monster claw that would have separated his head from his body melted as it touched his skin. The heat he emanated was suddenly felt across the pass. He leveled the spear at his foe and spoke. “By Solum’s Will, begone.” With that every monster within 50 feet was burned with pure sunfire, instantly vapourized. He summoned a great wall of plasma, stopping the further advance of the enemy and then burst forth through it. Light shone from his eyes as he fought single handedly against the foe, felling hundreds with his light. Some beasts attempted to flee just to be annihilated by a blast from the Sun Spear. He hefted the Sun Spear at [[Xanithor]] and heaved it with his newfound divine might. It flew true and utterly destroyed the beast, and all of its underlings with a wake of starfire. As the Sun Spear flew back into Taurion’s hands, he returned to his normal state, falling to a knee. He had claimed victory once and for all. With the loss of their king, the monsters would not return in great numbers, for they could not organize and they could not multiply. Sir Landus climbed out from under his pile of still smoking monster carapaces and was first to cheer. Soon cheers and screams of victory echoed from wall to wall, reverberating across the pass. 8e9ced28d208dfdd6184a2572cf86dd0d3391f5d Phoebe 0 21 154 153 2023-10-07T21:19:56Z 2604:3D09:E7E:B0B0:48E3:B736:410:D5EA 0 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Phoebe</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default> Phoebe.png </default> </image> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>The 333rd Sun, 1244 YS (age 20)</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>Unknown, possibly [[Solum]]</default> </data> <data source="pros"> <label>Pronouns</label> <default>She/Her</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>Unknown</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>Unknown</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> </infobox> Phoebe is the alias of a noble from [[Solum]].

Technically, the head of the House of Lords is the Archon of Solum. However, this position has remained largely ceremonial. A sitting Archon has not directly intervened in the affairs of the House since 231 YS. The ''de facto'' head of the House of Lords is the First Chair. This position has been occupied by the Lord Castleraigh since its inception with a single exception. In the years 644 YS to 653 YS, the Lord Nobuyara occupied the First Chair. The council votes on matters pertaining to the whole of Solum and its surrounding lands, from taxation to permits for construction and marketplaces. However, a common criticism of the council composition is the even number of members, leading to deadlocks in voting and little progress.

It stands at the fork of the Rivers [[Alfven River|Alfven]] and [[Elmhol River|Elmhol]]. It is thriving hub of alchemy and magical innovation, and a bustling metropolis hosting citizens from around the continent. It is the seat of the [[Archon of Solum]] as well as the [[Council of Five]]. Notable buildings include the [[Cenotaph of Solum]], the [[Council Chambers]], and the entire [[Palace Complex]]. The city is mostly encased in the [[Five Walls of Solum]], and the quadrant system within still forms the basis for administration outside the walls and into the present. Solum is also home to the [[Holy University of Solum]] and its schools of magic and architecture. == History == == Administration == === Local Government === The daily affairs of Solum are under the supervision of the House of Lords. This ruling body is made up of ten members, one from each of the [[Great Houses of Solum]]. Each occupies a seat numbered according to the following list: # [[Castleraigh|House Castleraigh]], Lord [[Stewart Castleraigh]] # [[Nobuyara|House Nobuyara]], Lady [[Sora Nobuyara]] # [[Alhazan|House Alhazan]], Lady [[Nadia Alhazan]] # [[Crowsworth|House Crowsworth]], Lord [[Alban Crowsworth]] # [[Shihuang|House Shihuang]], Lord [[Yourong Shihuang]] # [[Metternicht|House Metternicht]], Lord [[Ferdinand von Metternicht]] # [[Sekhar|House Sekhar]], Lady [[Jaya Sekhar]] # [[Astramare|House Astramare]], Lady [[Eris Astramare]] # [[Saurac|House Saurac]], Lord [[Pierre-Luc de Saurac]] # [[Everdawn|House Everdawn]], Lord [[Clement Everdawn]] Technically, the head of the House of Lords is the Archmagus of Solum. However, this position has remained largely ceremonial. A sitting Archmagus has not directly intervened in the affairs of the House since 231 YS. The ''de facto'' head of the House of Lords is the First Chair. This position has been occupied by the Lord Castleraigh since its inception with a single exception. In the years 644 YS to 653 YS, the Lord Nobuyara occupied the First Chair. The council votes on matters pertaining to the whole of Solum and its surrounding lands, from taxation to permits for construction and marketplaces. However, a common criticism of the council composition is the even number of members, leading to deadlocks in voting and little progress. This is quite common, and has been the source of calls for an eleventh member. Supporters note that the Archon may step in at anytime to break a tie in the case that it was crucial to resolve the matter, and that this system requires more members of the House to agree on legislation. In theory, this results in less legislation passed, but the laws that are passed benefit more of the people in this way. === National Government === === International Government === 696219f8b0fa43610c74bfd55a97cce335d69b43 Great Houses of Solum 0 184 623 622 2023-10-25T06:43:04Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki The Great Houses of Solum are made up of descendants of major figures from the time of the [[The Divine Empire of Solum|Empire's]] founding. They are, listed in order of their seat in the [[Solum#Local Government|House of Lords]] (and relative influence): # [[Castleraigh|House Castleraigh]], Lord [[Stewart Castleraigh]] # [[Nobuyara|House Nobuyara]], Lady [[Sora Nobuyara]] # [[Alhazan|House Alhazan]], Lady [[Nadia Alhazan]] # [[Crowsworth|House Crowsworth]], Lord [[Alban Crowsworth]] # [[Shihuang|House Shihuang]], Lord [[Yourong Shihuang]] # [[Metternicht|House Metternicht]], Lord [[Ferdinand von Metternicht]] # [[Sekhar|House Sekhar]], Lady [[Jaya Sekhar]] # [[Astramare|House Astramare]], Lady [[Eris Astramare]] # [[Saurac|House Saurac]], Lord [[Pierre-Luc de Saurac]] # [[Everdawn|House Everdawn]], Lord [[Clement Everdawn]] Each house maintains their original estate within the walls of the city. While the heads of the families hold much power as members of the House of Lords, the other family members are generally not given special treatment in their chosen fields. However, with the resources afforded by their birth, family members often have access to the best training and preparation for their chosen career, putting them ahead of their low born peers in that way. <gallery> Crest of castleraigh.png|[[Castleraigh]] Crest of nobuyara.png|[[Nobuyara]] Crest of alhazan.png|[[Alhazan]] Crest of crowsworth.png|[[Crowsworth]] Crest of shihuang.png|[[Shihuang]] Crest of metternicht.png|[[Metternicht]] Crest of sekhar.png|[[Sekhar]] Crest of saurac.png|[[Saurac]] Crest of astramare.png|[[Astramare]] Crest of everdawn.png|[[Everdawn]] </gallery> 5ab66b844c2e1226e6c5a735423fa82c49ec7a94 Main Page 0 1 66 65 2023-10-27T04:01:46Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki == Welcome to the Chronicle of Eridanion == On the continent of [[Astria]], the year is 1264.

A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in [[Toliman]] for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. === The 301st Sun, 1264 YS === Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] === The 308th Sun, 1264 YS === After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkwardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the park around the city walls. ==== Colt's Party ==== Colt takes his party to the address he was given on the edge of the Ducal Quarter of Arahall. Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. The party discusses the strange behaviour of the butler. Why was he unaware that his master had to deliver a package? Why was he unfazed by the disappearance of his master for several days? Why hadn't the butler offered to go and get the master himself? Feeling that something sinister was afoot, the party decided to investigate the house to see if the package is being hidden, or if the mysterious butler has anything to hide. Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. [[File:Tobiashouselayout.png|200px|thumb|right|Layout of Tobias' house.]] After searching for a couple minutes, they reach the second door within the house. This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. ==== Illya's Party ==== Illya's party arrives in Arahall minutes after. Having visited many times during her childhood, she easily navigates her way to the Ducal Quarter. They are met with guards patrolling the park outside the walls. They inquire about an audience with The Lady [[Kellerin the Sailor|Kellerin]]. The guards point them towards the main gate where they ask for a name to be added to the waiting list for The Lady to look over before deciding her schedule for the day. Illya writes only her first name: Illya. As the party awaits news about their audience, Faron climbs a tree. The others enjoy their time in the park. In the tree, Faron observes the guard rotations and notes three towers splitting up the curtain wall. There did not seem to be any clear path into the inner city other the primary gate. Luckily they did not have to find one. After a little while of resting beneath a particularly nice tree, a guard appears and unfurls a scroll: "LADY ILLYA OF MONSBERG, DAUGHTER OF ADRIK OF MONSBERG, YOU WILL BE SEEN NOW. PROCEED" Illya had not accounted that Kellerin would know exactly who she was, given their shared past (oooooh). The guards escort the group towards the audience chambers. As they pass through the main gate, they notice another group on the left. They were standing outside a rather small house: two people with white hair, one hooded, and a turtle. They decided not to call to them, even though they appeared to be the same group from the tavern a while ago. Entering the audience chamber, Kellerin leaps up from her throne and hugs Illya tightly. "Mymy you have grown! You simply do not visit enough How is your father How long -, " The barrage of questions went on, before Illya was able to get a word in. She asked to speak with the Lady privately, so Kellerin led her to the study behind the throne. <spoiler show="This is a spoiler for Illya's backstory" hide="Hide spoiler">In the study, Illya regales Kellerin with her story. She had run away from the care of her Uncle [[Percival the Guardian|Percival]], since he wanted to marry her off to [[Brannick of Alaphor]] to secure a grain deal with the [[League of Igeum]]. She wishes for asylum in Arahall. Kellerin laughs and tells her of course, "anything to spite old Percy over there!" The only condition is that Illya go to find the royal head chef, [[Tobias]]. He had gone missing in the West Woods a couple days before their arrival, after a wholehearted promise of a mushroom tart for dinner.</spoiler> After Illya exits the study, she tells her party they need to go find a chef whos gone missing in the West Woods. The party agrees to follow her. ==== Reunion ==== As both parties head off into the woods to find Tobias, they meet at the western gate. Colt's party walks past without saying a word (so edgy). Illya decides to follow them at a distance, with Ambrose following closer, miraculously avoiding detection several times. Both parties trek through the dense forest for hours as the sunset crept up on them. After these hours of fruitless searching, Faron decides to attempt to ask the creatures around them for clues. While a spider and a crow fail to provide reliable information, a fox tells of that Tobias had headed past a couple days earlier, but it hadn't seen him since. Furthermore, there were other humanoids in the forest, hooded figures to the northwest. Colt's party was the first to find the cultists. As the golden sunset gave way to the inky blackness of night, a soft purple glow could be seen in the distance. AS both groups approached they saw quite a strange scene. Four hooded cultists stood around a large brazier filled with a odd purple fire, hands raised and chanting a slow chant in perfect harmony. Five other hooded figures stood around, sitting on boxes, perhaps only there for guard duty. Above the flames floated the missing chef, seemingly unconscious, spinning slowly like a rotisserie chicken. As Mikey approaches to get a better look, he steps on a dry branch. In the silence of the night, he may as well have sounded a warhorn. (I feel turtles are not particularly stealthy). The five cultists not currently involved the ritual immediately jump up to attack the party. Roll initiative! [[File:Dropofthevoid.png|thumb|200px|right|Necklace that the cultist took before running.]] The battle begins with Colt's group ahead and Illya's behind having caught up as the combat began. Fill in the fight - lots of entangle - crit bonfire from Phoebe - accurate bow shooting from Ambrose - Big fog from Val - Mikey takes quite a bit of damage, immediately throws his trident into a tree - Colt clobbers with his staff - Akou mostly useless if I'm remembering After the initial five cultists are killed, the other four stop their ritual. Tobias is blasted out of the fog into a nearby tree. If he wasn't unconscious before, he is now (oof). Three other cultists are quickly dispatched, but one is able to escape. Akou notices that the cultist grabs a necklace with a black gem as they flee. In this act, they get their inner sleeve caught on a box leaving behind a small piece of red fabric (ooh). Illya stabilizes Tobias, he appears to be totally fine other wise. Strangely upbeat he asks if any of these people are Colt Aschen. Colt approaches and Tobias hands him a notebook before cheerfully walking away into the darkness of the woods. == Session 2 == Illya gains a bag of holding. Faron gains a Crest of Monsbergia. Akou gets nothing from the boxes. Colt says the notebook says to go to Solum to pick up another package. Phoebe gives Akou the scrap of Monsbergian red fabric to make a mask that covers her horns, as she is self conscious and doesn't like to stand out. They head back to Arahall, where Kellerin asks them to head to Monsberg to ask Lord [[Percival the Guardian|Percival]] about the things they found. She convinces them to do it after promising payment of 2 gp per day. On route to Monsberg, they stop by Planum, where they buy a number of things. And also assault Zwick :(. A fortune teller peers into Faron's future and tells her she saw nothing except someone or something peering back. They buy another bag of holding (and also a really smooth rock). They go to Monsberg. As they reach the city in the dead of night, it is eerily quiet. So they decide to break into an inn and wake some sleeping patrons (are we sure these are the good guys?). f63c09e015425cae66163299bbe6dc6d8b1a5929 403 402 2023-11-11T05:34:35Z HelixOxford 2 /* Session 2 */ wikitext text/x-wiki == Session 1 == === The 300th Sun, 1264 === The sun begins to set over the Western sea as a man plays a lonely song to himself and the waves gently lap the shore. A woman walks down the road to a [[The Tavern at the End of the World|tavern]]. She opens the door to find a musty old tavern. A strange man sits alone in the back, eating peanuts. Two whited haired men sit to left, in conversation with a turtle with a moustache. Closer to the bar, yet another white haired man desperately tries to join a conversation with an elf and a halfling, to no avail. At the nearest table to the entrance, a girl in a dark cloak sips her drink, her hood doing a poor job concealing her horns. [[File:Tavernattheendoftheworld.png|450px|thumb|right|The tavern where it all begins.]] The noblewoman sits down at the table with the elf and halfling, introducing herself as [[Illya|Cleo]] from the next town over. No one at the table believes this as she is dressed in fine fabrics and leathers and literally wearing a golden crown. Her attempts at being inconspicuous have gone extremely poorly. The others continue to ignore the white haired man, also strangely dressed in a blue and gold uniform, introducing themselves as [[Faron]] and [[Valeria]]. Meanwhile, at another table, the masked man is being interrogated by the others in his group. He tells them he's [[Akou]], and where he's from, "masks are all the rage in fashion!" throwing a verbal jab to the woman wearing a crown the table over. Unconvinced that masks are now the height of fashion, the turtle introduces himself as [[Mikey]], a former pirate from way out east in [[Kapteyn]]. Upon hearing that name, [[Colt]], sitting next to him realizes that he once knew a fellow by the name of Mikey, but hadn't seen him in years since the [[Bernard|accident]]. Mikey tells him that he is the boy from his past. The two share a moment in remembrance of their childhood friend. Weirded out by the trauma, [[Akou]] leaves to attempt to join another table. The blue clad white-haired man attempts to chat up the hooded girl sitting at the from of the tavern, but he is met with the coldest reception yet. Defeated, he heads to the bar to drown his sorrows. Just as Akou sits down, the people at the table have been discussing sleep arrangements for the night ahead. Cleo has found from the barkeep that there are no rooms left at the inn, but he doesn't reccomend staying here for long. Reports speak of a group of hooded figures kidnapping lone travelers for an unknown purpose. Valeria has offered Faron and Cleo a place to stay, as she regales the two, and now Akou, the story of how her and her friend Lysana had been taking part in the [[Western Sailing Race]]. A devastating crash took the life of her friend and stranded her in [[Toliman]] for the past year. Akou attempts to cajole her into some accomodation for the night. Valeria plainly states that, she "doesn't know if you'll fit, this might be a girls thing." Upset with the continued trauma, Akou heads back to his original table, figuring that maybe he could bunk with the turtle. Unfortunately for him, he finds out that turtles carry their own accommodations on their back, but Colt offers to share his rooftop if Akou agrees to help keep watch. He accepts, given that the alternative is he sleeps in a dark, wet alley alone. Overhearing talk of accommodations, the hooded girl walks up to the bar to ask the barkeep for her room key. Whether by poor memory or malice, the barkeep acts as if he has no idea what she speaks of. The white haired man slams his axe down attempting to intimidate the barkeep into helping the girl, but the barkeep only responds with mild annoyance, asking him to keep his weapons out of the tavern. Luckily, the girl is able to convince to the barkeep for an old shack out the back of the tavern, but not before hearing the story of how his beloved horse passed away recently, and that it was formerly the horse's home. She is unfazed. Faron saunters up to the bar much more friendly now for some reason, to ask the man his name. He declares, "I am [[Ambrose|Ambrose Everdawn]], Royal Guard of Solum! It is simply obscene that you do not know the goings on in the [[Solum|capital]], it's the only place that really matters!" He proceeds to rattle the news items he had received from his weekly briefing. Of course the [[Summer Festival]] and new year approaches in only 60 suns. Weaker crop harvests are reported across the [[League of Igeum|League]], while [[Brannick of Alaphor|Brannick]] does not seem worried and is actively seeking marriage. Echoing the barkeep, he also speaks of the hooded men sighted across the [[Southern Union]] territories. "Thus I am here to protect you citizen. Now I will return to my government subsidized housing for the night, I bide thee adieu." As the night winds down and people return to their various dwellings, Cleo, Faron, and Valeria, decide to question the man in the back of the bar. Asking him what his deal is, they receive a cryptic response, "I am [[Morgan]]. The journey will be longer than the [[Alfven River|Alfven]], and steeper than [[Solum's Crown]]," before the man returns to lining up his peanuts. Perplexed, Faron grabs some of his peanuts before leaving for the night. He is unfazed. The patrons shuffle out of the tavern leaving only Morgan and the barkeep in an otherwise empty room. Just before they leave, Valeria turns to Cleo. "Honestly, I don't believe your story. If I'm letting you stay in my home, at least tell me your real name?" Cleo relents, telling her group that her real name is Illya, but nothing more. === The 301st Sun, 1264 YS === Akou and Colt awake together on a rooftop near the tavern. They soak in the golden sunrise as Mikey stirs from his shell on a street below. Colt turns to his new partner and tells him, "Hey, I'm headed to [[Arahall]] to pick up a package and with those reports of kidnappings around, I'd rather be travelling in a group." Akou agrees to tag along, ready to see new vistas to inspire his art. Mikey hollers from below asking to come as well. Colt relents, initially offering him a single bronze piece per day, before finally agreeing on two bronze pieces after much protest from the turtle. Over at Val's shack, Illya is also planning on heading to Arahall, although her intentions still remain shrouded in secrecy. Like, Colt, she asks her companions to join her on the journey. Both are eager to get out of the hovel that is Toliman, especially Val, having been stuck there for over a year. The promise of pay seals the deal. As Colt's party prepares to leave, Phoebe peeks out of her dead horse shack, inquiring where they're headed. She resolves to join them, payment not required, so long as they aren't headed to Solum. The boys are happy to have another person in their group. Strength in numbers? The last to awaken is Ambrose. Stepping out of his government subsidized housing, he overhears Illya's party preparing to depart for Arahall. As a royal guard, he confidently approaches them, "HAIL CITIZEN," offering his services and protection, at no cost of course. They are skeptical given the previous nights events, but eventually decide having a royal guard with them would be prudent. As soon as they agree, Ambrose's facade drops. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you you wouldn't believe how lonely it is out here I thought they were sending me somewhere important but its been months you would nev-" He continues his blubbering as both parties leave Toliman behind. [[File:Session1route.png|450px|thumb|left|The party's trip from Toliman to Arahall.]] === The 308th Sun, 1264 YS === After nearly eight days of travel, both parties reach Arahall, the Western Capital. Having awkwardly followed each other at a distance for the duration of the week, they go there separate ways, Colt and company to pick up his package, Illya to visit the park around the city walls. ==== Colt's Party ==== Colt takes his party to the address he was given on the edge of the Ducal Quarter of Arahall. Coming upon a house next to the outer wall, the group sees that it is noticeably smaller than the other grand estates within this area of the city. Akou steps forward and knocks on the door. They are greeted by a well dressed older man. He introduces himself as the [[Bennet|butler]] of the house. Colt inquires about the package he is meant to pick up. The butler tells him the package is not in the house, that the master of the house always has it in his possession at all times. It is apparently very important and the master would not leave it behind in the house. ""However, if your need for this package is urgent, the master has been out foraging in the [[Western Woods]] for the past few days. You may wish to seek him there or wait until he returns," says the butler with a glint in his eye, "You should be easily able to find him, the woods are quite safe, everyone around has childhood stories of roaming that forest." The butler then closes the door, leaving the party with a decision. The party discusses the strange behaviour of the butler. Why was he unaware that his master had to deliver a package? Why was he unfazed by the disappearance of his master for several days? Why hadn't the butler offered to go and get the master himself? Feeling that something sinister was afoot, the party decided to investigate the house to see if the package is being hidden, or if the mysterious butler has anything to hide. Akou produces a set of thief's tools and attempts to pick the lock on the door. This fails. The next order of business is to have Mikey knock the door down. This does not fail. Wood splinters fly across the room as Akou walks into the house first. The butler, understandably afraid, reaches for a frying pan, but Akou and Phoebe manage to calm him down by convincing him they are secret police members. He finds this unlikely, but without other options, he settles into one of the armchairs by the fireplace and anxiously waits. The house is effectively just a rectangular room with another rectangular room within. [[File:Tobiashouselayout.png|200px|thumb|right|Layout of Tobias' house.]] After searching for a couple minutes, they reach the second door within the house. This time neither Akou's lockpicking nor Mikey can open the door. Luckily Phoebe is able to convince (threaten) the butler into unlocking it. They find a fairly standard bed room with a large bed with a rug at its feet, a dresser, and a comically large painting of a chef with a mountain backdrop. [[File:Tobiaspainting.png|250px|thumb|left|Painting found in the bedroom.]] They begin to rifle through the drawers. Phoebe throws the dresser open, finding only some brown tunics and socks. She (for some reason) decides to keep one of the socks. Colt takes the painting down and sets it on the bed. He spends a significant period of time searching the wall for any hidden doors or compartments, before it is pointed out that the other side of the wall is the dining room they were just in. He puts the painting back. Akou rolls the rug aside. Searching each floorboard, he notices one is out of place and a bit loose. Picking it u, he discovers a small pouch hidden below. Within are three pearls. Colt, Mikey, and Akou each take one for themselves, discretely. Unsatified with their heist, they leave as Akou informs the butler that another group of guards would be by soon to take his statement and apologizes for the door, flipping him a bronze piece as he walks out. They decide to go the Woods anyways, not believing the sock and pearls they found was really the all-important package. ==== Illya's Party ==== Illya's party arrives in Arahall minutes after. Having visited many times during her childhood, she easily navigates her way to the Ducal Quarter. They are met with guards patrolling the park outside the walls. They inquire about an audience with The Lady [[Kellerin the Sailor|Kellerin]].

The five cultists not currently involved the ritual immediately jump up to attack the party. Roll initiative! [[File:Dropofthevoid.png|thumb|200px|right|Necklace that the cultist took before running.]] The battle begins with Colt's group ahead and Illya's behind having caught up as the combat began. Fill in the fight - lots of entangle - crit bonfire from Phoebe - accurate bow shooting from Ambrose - Big fog from Val - Mikey takes quite a bit of damage, immediately throws his trident into a tree - Colt clobbers with his staff - Akou mostly useless if I'm remembering After the initial five cultists are killed, the other four stop their ritual.

Illya stabilizes Tobias, he appears to be totally fine other wise. Strangely upbeat he asks if any of these people are Colt Aschen. Colt approaches and Tobias hands him a notebook before cheerfully walking away into the darkness of the woods. == Session 2 == === The 309th Sun === The story opens again in the dark clearing, the only light coming from the bonfire at the centre, now a normal colour. It was only been minutes since Tobias wandered off. The party notices several closed boxes. Akou lockpicks the first box finding it empty to his dismay. The others are more successful, with [[Illya]] find a magical bag (of holding), and [[Faron]] finding a [[Crest of Monsberg]] after punching through the last box (wow). During this time [[Colt]] has been flipping through the journal and the others are curious about what it contains. All he tells them is that it tells to head to [[Solum]] to pick up a second package. The gang heads back to [[Arahall]] to meet with [[Kellerin the Sailor|Lady Kellerin]]. The guard addresses Illya as Lady Illya once again (she is very good at deception don't worry guys). She leads her companions into the main dining hall. The Lady of Arahall is curious to know what had transpired the previous night. Illya regales her with an elaborate story (with no embellishments) about the cultists and hooded men they fought, and presents her with the scrap of red fabric they found. Her face quickly turns from a relaxed expression to one of concern. "This particular shade is native to [[Monsberg]], only used by the royal family and those who serve them. I wonder how these cultists have gotten their hands on it." The crest that Faron found also likely belongs to a royal guard of Monsberg. With these factors now in play, Kellerin asks (strongly demands) Illya go to Monsberg to ask Lord [[Percival the Guardian|Percival]] about it, and if he had any knowledge or clues that may lead to a culprit within the walls of Monsberg Castle. The route is decided. The party will walk south to [[Planum]], then north to Monsberg, and of course they will be well compensated. A total sum of 18 GP each upfront and 18 more from Percival when they arrive. [[Akou]] decides to take the scroll with the terms of payment on his person. The party leaves for Monsberg on the morning of the 310th Sun. === The 320th Sun === The party arrives in the seaside town of Planum, [[Grand Duchy of Monsbergia|Monsbergia]]'s largest port. However, during the offseason it is not much more than a ramshackle collection of houses and a small market. The group decides to head to the market to peruse the wares for some time. [[Phoebe]] visits the general store and leaves with an abacus (of questionable value for adventuring). A strange old man calls to them. He is wearing a silver necklace, but its pendant is hidden under the lapel of his shirt. He offers to sell the party some cracked gemstones. They are not amused by his clear "scam" and instead simultaneously attempt to take a look at his necklace and steal the small pouch of coins he had on his shop table behind him. They fail at both of these tasks, ending up piling onto him and becoming a public nuisance (how could they do this to my favourite NPC [[Zwick]]). After dusting off the social implications of assaulting an old man in broad daylight, Faron decides to get a fortune reading from the super hot lady offering to tell the future. She takes Faron's hands into hers, holding them tightly, and is silent for a few moments. Suddenly she jumps back, before saying, concerned, "I peered into your future, and it peered back." After being pressured to elaborate, she explains that she usually see glimpses of events from a persons future, generally out of order and vague. However, this time, she only saw darkness and was overcome by an overwhelming feeling of being watched from all directions. Faron, done with this shit, decides to go buy some yarn instead and gets an insane deal. The last purchase of this ill-fated shopping spree went to [[Ambrose]], spending his hard earned government salary on another magical bag (of holding) and a "really smooth rock" (whose purpose has yet to be revealed). On route to Monsberg, they stop by Planum, where they buy a number of things. And also assault Zwick :(. A fortune teller peers into Faron's future and tells her she saw nothing except someone or something peering back. They buy another bag of holding (and also a really smooth rock). They go to Monsberg. As they reach the city in the dead of night, it is eerily quiet. So they decide to break into an inn and wake some sleeping patrons (are we sure these are the good guys?). 8ab81bf2e181d4c86f2a0fc880760742415a36c8 Faron 0 18 118 117 2023-11-11T05:05:00Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki <infobox> <title source="title"> <default>Faron Galandoel</default> </title> <image source="image"> <default> Faron.png </default> </image> <header> </header> <data source="bd"> <label>Birthdate</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="bp"> <label>Birthplace</label> <default>[[Acosto]], [[Most Serene Republic of Acosto]]</default> </data> <data source="pros"> <label>Pronouns</label> <default>Fill</default> </data> <data source="dad"> <label>Father</label> <default>Unnamed father</default> </data> <data source="mom"> <label>Mother</label> <default>Unnamed mother</default> </data> <data source="sibs"> <label>Siblings</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="part"> <label>Partner</label> <default>None</default> </data> <data source="child"> <label>Children</label> <default>None</default> </data> <header> </header> <data source="items"> <label>Known items</label> <default>A [[Crest of Monsberg]]</default> </data> </infobox> Faron hails from the unnamed forest north of the [[Southern Tip Trail]], growing up among the [[Southern Giants]].

Now, Faron spends their days in the Southern Giants of their childhood weaving baskets from the natural materials of the forest. At nightfall, Faron ventures back to the city of Acosto to make the most of the nightlife and to find beautiful people to charm. However, the glowing lights of Acosto at night seem to have grown dull after many years.

He would leave his family and village behind to begin his journey. He travelled across the land meeting many people and seeing the southern continent, occasionally returning home to regale his people with stories (which were sometimes embellished) of his travels. Yet as the years went on, he grow bored of this too and decided he would attempt to find the rumoured [[Wandering Mountain]] to cement his fame as an explorer. As [[Solum’s Gate]] remained heavily guarded, he began to climb the mountains of the Divide near the town of [[Cyonus]]. The trek was difficult for even an experienced adventurer as himself. One starless night, he dreamt of his parents, staring at him from across a field, milky white eyes and unmoving. Awakening with a start, he found that we no longer needed to blink or sleep. This supposed boon, strange as its origin, would prove helpful to his journey. He spotted the mountain only a week later, on another starless night while scanning the horizon from one of the smaller peaks. A mountain seemed nearby, yet as he looked away and back, the mountain had disappeared in that instant. By this point, he had not slept for a week and perhaps delirious, yet he noticed that if he did not remove his gaze from that mountain, it would not wander out of his sight. So for another 4 days, he climbed towards that peak. At the top, he found a small entrance into a large dark cavern with a single stone bridge leading across to a small, throne on the other side. By this point, he hadn’t slept in over 2 weeks. Intense paranoia gripped his psyche and his eyes burned, yet he was now unable to close his eye lids. The pain overcoming him, he fell to his knees and gouged his own eyes out. Blinded by his own hand, he crawled across the bridge to dragged himself onto the chair. Suddenly a surge of strength flowed through him, and a deep desire to express his deepest wish. He spoke it aloud, and then the world went dark. He awakens with his eyesight restored in strange land with strange creatures and plants. Over the next couple chapters, he wanders this strange place encountering demons, dragons, and all sorts of indescribable creatures. Eventually he found his way back to his town (this part is unclear) and once again gives his story to his people. For his legendary exploits, the town and eventually country would be named after him, Barnard. Some say that Barnard himself still walks the earth, taking in all that it has to offer, across the world and across time. 7a0650b45b17ff8a17e1cfaf3e03c3ec2d7876fb Main Page 0 1 68 67 2024-01-25T22:35:43Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki == Welcome to the Chronicle of Eridanion == On the continent of [[Astria]], the year is 1265.

They attended the [[Acosto Conservatory]], majoring in fiber arts and weaving, when they were 85, still a child named Faen. Since, Faron lives in [[Acosto]], having apprenticed as a fiber artist for 2 years before setting off on their own. Now, Faron spends their days in the Southern Giants of their childhood weaving baskets from the natural materials of the forest. At nightfall, Faron ventures back to the city of Acosto to make the most of the nightlife and to find beautiful people to charm. However, the glowing lights of Acosto at night seem to have grown dull after many years.

The second son of the family, Adrik idolized his brother, aspiring to be as strong as his big brother. Together they would be seen sprinting through the halls of [[Monsberg Castle]] or leaping from the tower to be caught by a spell. While Percival was blessed with a strong body and tactical brain, Adrik's talents were in diplomacy and magecraft. He would follow his brother to study at the [[Holy University of Solum]], earning a degree in magecraft. During his time in Solum, he and his brother would become great friends with other influential figures, like Eridanion and Arivan. In his final year, Adrik created a spell so powerful, he was forbidden from ever casting it. The Archmagus Yuvira sealed it within a staff and had it locked in the [[Scorian Vaults]]. It is unknown what this spell even did, but it must have had incredible destructive power to have had the Archmagus seal it away for the stability of the Union. Adrik met [[Kellerin the Sailor]], then just Kellerin of Arahall on the first day of classes, sharing a class in architecture. They became fast friends and would pursue a brief relationship towards the end of their degrees, but it ended on poor terms due to each's respective royal duties. == Life after Graduation == Adrik's skill in magecraft was so great that the Archmagus herself offered to tutor him after his graduation, but he declined, stating that his duty was to Monsberg. With his brother stationed at the remote [[Solum's Gate]], Adrik became the Grand Duchy's most prominent diplomat. Using his connections from his time in Solum, he brokered deals and signed treaties across the [[Southern Union]], from [[Lightfall]] to [[Bracketton]]. == Coronations == In 1242, returning from a diplomatic trip from [[Barnard's Point]], Adrik found his father had passed away while he had been sailing back. He immediately inherited his brother's former title as Lord-Protector. In 1264, after Percival's disappearance, Adrik ascended the Lordship of Monsberg. == Personal Life == Due to his stationing out in Solum's Gate, Adrik is unmarried. He has one daughter named [[Illya]], who up until recently had been under the care of her uncle in the capital.

As one of the three oldest families, the crest of Nobuyara shares many features with the crests of [[Alhazan]] and [[Castleraigh]]. With a Solum gold bar across the top of the crest, the five circle pattern on the Nobuyara crest is in the family's red. The red bottom of the crest holds an eight-petalled flower in Solum gold. The family colours are red and gold. The current head of the family is Lady [[Sora Nobuyara]]. == List of Living Members == A list of living members of House Nobuyara follows in order of succession.

His given name has been lost to time. The namesake of the [[Confederacy of Barnard]], [[Barnard's Point]], and [[Barnard's Bay]], he travelled extensively in the early days, meeting with leaders and peasants alike on his quest to experience all the world has to offer. He journeyed into the [[Northern Expanse]] several times, and he was the first known person to have any written account of the [[Watcher of the Mountains]] or the [[Wandering Mountain]]. His final fate is unknown. The portrait above is thought to be an early image of his likeness, perhaps while he was still a fisherman on the bay. Some legends believe that he reached the summit of the Wandering Mountain, and wished to be able to finally experience all the world had to offer. The Mountain is said to have granted him an incredibly long life, to wander the world and experience it change through the centuries. Some believe he still walks among the people of Astria, perhaps laughing along with new friends in a tavern or enjoying some Umfrey clams by the seaside. == The Epic of Barnard == This book is a (perhaps embellished) recollection of the adventures of Barnard. Once a young fisherman grew tired of his life, wondering if fishing was all the world had to offer him. He would leave his family and village behind to begin his journey. He travelled across the land meeting many people and seeing the southern continent, occasionally returning home to regale his people with stories (which were sometimes embellished) of his travels. Yet as the years went on, he grew bored of this too and decided he would attempt to find the rumoured [[Wandering Mountain]] to cement his fame as an explorer. As [[Solum’s Gate]] remained heavily guarded, he began to climb the mountains of the Divide near the town of [[Cyonus]]. The trek was difficult for even an experienced adventurer like himself. One starless night, he dreamt of his parents, staring at him from across a field, milky white eyes and unmoving. Awakening with a start, he found that we no longer needed to blink or sleep. This supposed boon, strange as its origin, would prove helpful to his journey. He spotted the mountain only a week later, on another starless night while scanning the horizon from one of the smaller peaks. A mountain seemed nearby, yet as he looked away and back, the mountain had disappeared in that instant. By this point, he had not slept for a week and was perhaps delirious, yet he noticed that if he did not remove his gaze from that mountain, it would not wander out of his sight. So for another 4 days, he climbed towards that peak. At the top, he found a small entrance into a large dark cavern with a single stone bridge leading across to a small, throne on the other side. By this point, he hadn’t slept in over 2 weeks. Intense paranoia gripped his psyche and his eyes burned, yet he was now unable to close his eyelids. The pain overcoming him, he fell to his knees and gouged his own eyes out. Blinded by his own hand, he crawled across the bridge and dragged himself onto the chair. Suddenly a surge of strength flowed through him, and a deep desire to express his deepest wish. He spoke it aloud, and then the world went dark. He awakens with his eyesight restored in a strange land with strange creatures and plants. Over the next couple of chapters, he wanders this strange place encountering demons, dragons, and all sorts of indescribable creatures. Eventually, he found his way back to his town (this part is unclear) and once again gives his story to his people. For his legendary exploits, the town and eventually country would be named after him, Barnard. Some say that Barnard himself still walks the earth, taking in all that it has to offer, across the world and across time. 781ba902f8fc932d727ba206421a7130a9982dc7 Annu Quintum 0 246 733 2024-01-29T05:38:18Z HelixOxford 2 Created page with "The following is taken from the journals of [[Arivan]].

According to the ancient texts, there is a certain mountain in the Northern Expanse that is almost unnaturally flat, as if some being had sheared the peak clean off. Its top consists of a wide plain over 1 km across. The texts call this place Annu Quintum. [[Solum the Neverfading|Solum]] wrote that he had not an idea how this place came to be, and I remain equally baffled. It is indeed strange to walk across a mountain top without changing elevation for 15 minutes. I stayed a night at the mountain top. The ground was hard like rock, but quite cold to the touch, with very little grass growing. At night, I was treated to perhaps the greatest display of stars waltzing across the heavens. With the flatness of the mountaintop, the sky had nothing to hide and I took it in as long as I could. <b>Several weeks later</b> The night after I witnessed a star fall from the sky, I found the Quintum changing. On its southern face, an entrance. Leading deep within, a labyrinth filled with a number of traps and odd creatures. None of them hugely dangerous as they were all susceptible to my radiant spells. Through the labyrinth, deep within the mountain, a small cavern can be found. The cave walls are a deep black, reflecting no light at all. The only light comes from small glowing gemstones embedded in the cave walls. Within there is a small pedestal, with an indent shaped like a ring about the size a human would wear. <b>Months later</b> Eldora and I are nearly returned to [[Solum's Gate]]. However, just yesterday I found a small ring, black and speckled with dim points of light. Upon closer inspection, they are a perfect reflection of the heavens above, even as the stars fade. How strange. I will study it further when she and I return after our trip.

He was born to the [[Archmagus of Solum]], Lady [[Yuvira]] and an unnamed father. As the heir-apparent of the seat of Archmagus, he studied under the tutelage of his mother, as well as earning a degree in the arcane arts from the [[Holy University of Solum]]. After graduating, Arivan decided to become an explorer, much to his mother's chagrin. His adventures took him across [[Astria]], visiting locations from North to South.

Ghemdora protests due to Eldora's tiefling appearence, but he had assured her that it would be a short visit. Arivan returned to the royal quarter in the evening of the 135rd Sun, to find his mother on her deathbed. She held his hand as she passed, wishing him luck as the next Archmagus. He returned to his quarters nearly slipping out into the night with Eldora, but he was visited by Eridanion just as he is about to jump out the window with his young daughter in tow. The Archon expressed his deepest condolences for Yuvira's passing, and hoped that Arivan would stay and now finally stand by his side. He told of a prosperous [[Southern Union]], of happiness for all their people.

Arivan ascended as [[Archmagus of Solum]] that night and has stood side by side with Eridanion for many years since, always the wise counsel and trusted friend.

It now known only as the City of Tears, both in remembrance of the Dominion and for the perpetual rain. Apparently built along the coast thousands of years ago, the city is set against a half circle of mountains, dividing its inhabitants from the mainland and giving this city some of the greatest natural fortifications anywhere in the known world. The winding streets are made of stone, slippery and eroded away from centuries of rain. Formerly pointed towers and roofs have been worn smooth. Everywhere one walks, there are cracks in the paths and walls of the building, as if the city had survived a minor earthquake, with no one around to patch the cracks. Water pools into every crack and crevice, with more small puddles sitting in eroded stone. As one walks through the city, they will approach the coastline. The buildings change from what seemed to be simple dwellings to larger and larger buildings, with some partially collapsed. As one walks to the coast line, there is an abrupt sheer cliff face stretching far across the city. It appears this jagged cliff goes from one side of the mountains to the other, forming a natural city limit against the western sea. When this city was inhabited it must have been beautiful to sit near and watch the sun set, when it didn’t rain. There is a particularly wide street all the way along the cliff edge, and at the middle point is what is assumed to be a large plaza. A couple hundred feet across, its outer border is a massive semi circle, then within are 4 additional semi circles. In the middle, near the cliff edge, stands the base of what once was a tall pillar, now missing, perhaps fallen into the depths. The tiles that make up the plaza seem to be missing near the cliff edge, and a great number more are loose, probably the time and the rain taking their toll. Set a bit further back from the edge are two pools of water. Overlooking the plaza is a large important looking building, perhaps a temple to some ancient deity or a ceremonial centre. The weathering to the stairs leading up to the first floor are terribly weathered away, nearly turning them into an angled slope. The initial part of this building is some open entrance hall or foyer. A solid wall forms the western entrance side of the hall, but the north and south walls are actually made up of five columns each holding up the roof. On the inner side of the entrance wall is a massive carved mural made up of 4 full size panels, two on each side of the doorway, and one slightly smaller central panel directly above the door. They seem to depict some sort of story in a sharp geometric style. Rain seeping through the cracks of the roof have worn away some of the top portions of the panels, leaving the story it seems to tell incomplete. Damage from a recent battle has also destroyed parts of the wall. The first panel shows a larger circle with five smaller circles around it. They are all at different distances from the central circle. The top most smaller circle also has two even smaller circles carved near it, the three forming an axis with the central carving.. All together, the circles seem to form a five pointed star. Across the entire panel are many small pictograms, each depicted as a deeper hole with 5 small spokes similar to a 5 pointed star. Deeper inspection shows these as patterns of the known constellations, albeit slightly warped, and with more stars included than is generally accepted. At the bottom of the panel, an intricate carving of a tree is shown. It is in full bloom with flowers and leaves covering the branches. A group of humanoid figures are depicted at the base of the tree. Some leaning on its trunk, some sitting, some dancing together with other figures. The second panel is heavily damaged and most is difficult to make out. Only the bottom third of the panel is clear and it seems to show the same tree as the first figure, yet its branches are now bare. The humanoid figures now are much less lively, with most looking up to the top of the panel. At the top, where the group of circles appeared before, water damage has obscured what was originally there. Only near the top of the tree, one can make out a strange pattern, seemingly like tendrils or something reaching for the tree from whatever used to be above. Most of the small stars from the first panel are repeated on this panel, yet it is clear that a few are not. The third central panel shows a starkly different image. The tree that dominated the bottom portion of the left panels is gone, reduced to a stump. A procession of the figures forms a snaking line undulating up to the top of the panel, where they seemingly enter into a passage or entrance between two mountains. Intriguingly, there are two figures standing at the bottom of the panel, appearing to watch the procession marching along. In the top area of the panel, there are now only three circles, each getting smaller. There are no stars on this one for some reason. The fourth panel shows the same stump at the bottom, as well as the same mountain in the backdrop. To the left of the panel, a long streak extends from the top portion of the panel to the mountains. The stars have returned, yet once again a few short compared to the second panel. There are six humanoid figures, three on each side of the stump, standing near the stump all looking in the direction of the streak on the left. About the top third of this panel is eroded away. In the final panel, where the streak of the fourth panel ended, there is now a pictogram depicting a circle with a square attached to its bottom side. A single figure stands by this pictogram. The stump is still there, yet there appears to be a small sapling growing from its base. Only one star is missing from this panel compared to the fourth panel.

It now known only as the City of Tears, both in remembrance of the Dominion and for the perpetual rain. Apparently built along the coast thousands of years ago, the city is set against a half circle of mountains, dividing its inhabitants from the mainland and giving this city some of the greatest natural fortifications anywhere in the known world. The winding streets are made of stone, slippery and eroded away from centuries of rain. Formerly pointed towers and roofs have been worn smooth. Everywhere one walks, there are cracks in the paths and walls of the building, as if the city had survived a minor earthquake, with no one around to patch the cracks. Water pools into every crack and crevice, with more small puddles sitting in eroded stone. The buildings line extremely narrow streets, built for a dense urban population. Several large buildings remain mostly intact, other than erosion from the rain. As one walks to the coast line, there is an abrupt sheer cliff face stretching far across the city. It appears this jagged cliff goes from one side of the mountains to the other, forming a natural city limit against the western sea and forming the city into the shape of a semicircle. When this city was inhabited it must have been beautiful to sit near and watch the sun set, when it didn’t rain. There is a particularly wide street all the way along the cliff edge, and at the middle point is what is assumed to be a large plaza. A couple hundred feet across, its outer border is a massive semi circle, then within are 4 additional semi circles. In the middle, near the cliff edge, stands the base of what once was a tall pillar, now missing, perhaps fallen into the depths. The tiles that make up the plaza seem to be missing near the cliff edge, and a great number more are loose, probably the time and the rain taking their toll. Set a bit further back from the edge are two pools of water. == Central Building == Overlooking the plaza is a large important looking building, perhaps a temple to some ancient deity or a ceremonial centre. The weathering to the stairs leading up to the first floor are terribly weathered away, nearly turning them into an angled slope. The initial part of this building is some open entrance hall or foyer leading into a large domed structure. A solid wall forms the western entrance side of the hall, but the north and south walls are actually made up of five columns each holding up the roof. On the inner side of the entrance wall is a massive carved mural made up of 4 full size panels, two on each side of the doorway, and one slightly smaller central panel directly above the door. They seem to depict some sort of story in a sharp geometric style. Rain seeping through the cracks of the roof have worn away some of the top portions of the panels, leaving the story it seems to tell incomplete. Damage from a recent battle has also destroyed parts of the wall. === Mysterious Mural === The first panel shows a larger circle with five smaller circles around it. They are all at different distances from the central circle. The top most smaller circle also has two even smaller circles carved near it, the three forming an axis with the central carving.. All together, the circles seem to form a five pointed star. Across the entire panel are many small pictograms, each depicted as a deeper hole with 5 small spokes similar to a 5 pointed star. Deeper inspection shows these as patterns of the known constellations, albeit slightly warped, and with more stars included than is generally accepted. At the bottom of the panel, an intricate carving of a tree is shown. It is in full bloom with flowers and leaves covering the branches. A group of humanoid figures are depicted at the base of the tree. Some leaning on its trunk, some sitting, some dancing together with other figures. The second panel is heavily damaged and most is difficult to make out. Only the bottom third of the panel is clear and it seems to show the same tree as the first figure, yet its branches are now bare. The humanoid figures now are much less lively, with most looking up to the top of the panel. At the top, where the group of circles appeared before, water damage has obscured what was originally there. Only near the top of the tree, one can make out a strange pattern, seemingly like tendrils or something reaching for the tree from whatever used to be above. Most of the small stars from the first panel are repeated on this panel, yet it is clear that a few are not. The third central panel shows a starkly different image. The tree that dominated the bottom portion of the left panels is gone, reduced to a stump. A procession of the figures forms a snaking line undulating up to the top of the panel, where they seemingly enter into a passage or entrance between two mountains. Intriguingly, there are two figures standing at the bottom of the panel, appearing to watch the procession marching along. In the top area of the panel, there are now only three circles, each getting smaller. There are no stars on this one for some reason. The fourth panel shows the same stump at the bottom, as well as the same mountain in the backdrop. To the left of the panel, a long streak extends from the top portion of the panel to the mountains. The stars have returned, yet once again a few short compared to the second panel. There are six humanoid figures, three on each side of the stump, standing near the stump all looking in the direction of the streak on the left. About the top third of this panel is eroded away. In the final panel, where the streak of the fourth panel ended, there is now a pictogram depicting a circle with a square attached to its bottom side. A single figure stands by this pictogram. The stump is still there, yet there appears to be a small sapling growing from its base. Only one star is missing from this panel compared to the fourth panel. About half of this panel is eroded to smooth. The roof is partially collapsed on the eastern side of the hall, preventing entrance into the next part of this building which from the outside appears to be a massive dome, reminiscent of those found around the [[Southern Union]].

It is the hometown of the famous explorer and its namesake, [[Barnard]]. At the mouth of Barnard’s Bay, the capital of the confederacy controls all trade going in and out, and has grown to be the largest port city in the [[Southern Union]]. Started as a fishing and trapping village, Barnard crab is still a delicacy throughout the Union. The Bay Theatre is a architectural wonder and has hosted the Unions most prolific speakers and entertainers since its construction in FILL YS. 25a4603d84f692dd88937b9e779f89f0681de4a6 File:Logofinal.png 6 262 899 2024-04-14T02:25:09Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 File:Logofinal2.svg 6 263 900 2024-04-14T02:27:48Z HelixOxford 2 wikitext text/x-wiki da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
